The surface emission from a bulk semiconductor at ultra-low temperature and magnetic carrier confinement was reported by Ivars Melngailis in 1965. The first proposal of short VCSEL was done by Kenichi Iga of Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1977. Contrary to the conventional Fabry-Perot edge-emitting semiconductor lasers, his invention comprises a short laser cavity less than 1/10 of the edge-emitting lasers vertical to a wafer s.

Now, Japan's National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), in collaboration with Sony Semiconductor Solutions, has developed what they describe as "the world's first practical surface-emitting laser that employs quantum dots as the optical gain medium. The vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL / ˈvɪksəl /) is a type of semiconductor laser diode with laser beam emission perpendicular from the top surface, contrary to conventional edge-emitting semiconductor lasers (also called in-plane lasers) which emit from surfaces formed by cleaving. The Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL), conceived by Kenichi Iga at Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1977, is notable for its single-mode operation, easy monolithic manufacturability, and frequency tunability. However, VCSELs typically operate in the near-infrared region, at wavelengths of 850 or 940 nm. Researchers have created a new technique for precise control of cavity length in GaN-based vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers.

Multijunction vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) have gained popularity in automotive LiDARs, yet achieving a divergence of less than 16° (D86) is difficult for conventional extended cavity.
