ABSTRACT:
According to the present invention, a first p-side electrode7A made of metal which is provided with regularly arranged holes10having a diameter smaller than a laser oscillation wavelength and a second p-side electrode7B arranged around the periphery of the first p-type electrode7A are used as a p-side mirror of a surface-emitting laser. Light in a resonator formed of a p-side electrode7and an n-type mirror2is first converted to a surface plasmon and then reconverted to the light by the p-side electrode7A, and then emitted outside the resonator.
