Abstract

A surface emission type semiconductor laser includes a plurality of semiconductor layers defining at least one resonator in a direction perpendicular to the semiconductor substrate of the laser, the layers including at least a cladding layer in the semiconductor layers being formed into at least one column-like semiconductor layer extending in a direction perpendicular to the semiconductor substrate, and a II-VI group compound semiconductor epitaxial layer buried around the at least one column-like semiconductor layer. If a plurality of column-like semiconductor layers are to be formed by a separation groove, these column-like semiconductor layers are separated from one another, the II-VI group compound semiconductor epitaxial layer being buried in the separation groove.
