A heavily doped semiconductor layer is formed over the barrel of a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL), providing current conduction and current spreading across and into the aperture of a laser barrel, while eliminating the need for a light-obstructing conductive electrical contact overhang. The VCSEL comprises a substrate, a first distributed Bragg reflector (DBR), an active region, a second DBR having a non-conductive ion implantation region and a laser barrel region with a first diameter, the heavily doped semiconductor layer, and a conductive electrical contact. The conductive electrical contact defines an opening with a second diameter that is greater than the first diameter.
