PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a surface emitting laser of a practical level which suppresses the occurrence of a defect in association with a lattice strain in adhering a reflecting mirror to an active layer.;SOLUTION: The surface emitting laser includes an active region having at least one active layer, and a resonator structure having a first reflecting mirror and a second reflecting mirror provided at an upper part and a lower part of the active layer. The region having an at least part of the reflecting mirror and the region having at least the active layer are adhered via a metal.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
