Abstract

A surface emitting laser diode having a two-dimensionally extended light emitting region is disclosed in which the light emitting region includes a plurality of stripe regions and gap regions each formed between adjacent stripe regions, the stripe regions are optically coupled with each other through the gap regions, and an even-order diffraction grating is formed in at least a part of the light emitting area. The laser diode having the above structure can emit a high-intensity, well-collimated laser beam.
