Abstract

A photonic crystal surface emitting laser device including at least one photonic crystal surface emitting laser unit is provided. The photonic crystal surface emitting laser unit includes a light-emitting layer, a photonic crystal layer, a doped semiconductor layer, and a diffractive grating. The light-emitting layer is configured to emit a light beam. The photonic crystal layer is disposed on one side of the light-emitting layer. The doped layer is disposed on another side of the light-emitting layer. The diffractive grating is disposed on the photonic crystal layer or the doped semiconductor layer.
