Provided is a vertical external cavity surface emitting laser (VECSEL) in
which a pump laser is integrated with the rest of the VECSEL as a single
body. The VECSEL includes: a first active layer that has a quantum well
structure and generates light with a first wavelength; a reflection layer
formed on a first surface of the first active layer; an external mirror
that is separated by a predetermined distance from a second surface of
the first active layer, transmits a portion of light generated by the
first active layer to the outside, and reflects the rest of the light
generated by the first active layer to be absorbed by the first active
layer; and a pump laser disposed on the reflection layer as a single body
to provide light with a second wavelength which is shorter than the first
wavelength to the first active layer for optical pumping.
