A plurality of vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser devices each having
a different lasing wavelength are arrayed by a simple structure and a
manufacturing process without increasing device resistance. Each
vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser device comprises a layered
structure including an active layer and a current confinement layer. The
area of current confinement portion in the laminate structures is set
corresponding to a wavelength of laser light emitted from each
vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser device. Thereby, the plurality of
vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser devices emits laser light with
different lasing wavelengths.
