Abstract

A vertical cavity surface emitting laser is disclosed including a lower cladding layer of a particular conductivity type deposited on the semiconductor substrate, having multiple periods of semiconductor layers of varying index cf refraction so deposited as to form a .lambda./2 Bragg reflector; and an upper cladding layer of opposite conductivity type having multiple periods of semiconductor layers of varying index of refraction so deposited as to form a multilayer reflector.
