A surface-emitting type semiconductor laser includes: an upper mirror and a lower mirror each composed of alternately formed first semiconductor layers and second semiconductor layers; an active layer disposed between the upper mirror and the lower mirror, wherein the surface-emitting laser emits laser light in a direction in which the first semiconductor layers and the second semiconductor layers are formed; a thick film layer formed with one of the first semiconductor layers composing the lower mirror, the thick film layer being thicker than other of the first semiconductor layers; and a third semiconductor layer provided between the thick film layer and one of the second semiconductor layers on the thick film layer, the third semiconductor layer having a refractive index between a refractive index of the first conductive layer and a refractive index of the second semiconductor layer.
