A surface-emitting laser diode device that oscillates in a direction perpendicular to the substrate is provided. This surface-emitting laser diode device includes: an active layer; a resonator structure including a first distributed Bragg reflector and a second distributed Bragg reflector that face each other and sandwich the active layer; a hole passage that extends from a first electrode to the active layer; an electron passage that extends from a second electrode to the active layer; a hole restricting structure that is located in the hole passage and defines a region for confining holes to the active layer; and an optical mode control structure that includes a non-oxide region provided in the resonator structure and an oxide region surrounding the non-oxide region, each region containing Al as a constituent element. In this surface-emitting laser diode, the area of the non-oxide region is smaller than the area of the hole restricting structure.
