Patent attributes
A semiconductor light-emitting element capable of reducing multipeaks to thereby achieve a single peak in an emission spectrum is provided. A semiconductor light-emitting element according to the present disclosure includes, in this order, a substrate, a reflective layer, a first conductivity type cladding layer made of InGaAsP containing at least In and P, a semiconductor light-emitting layer having an emission central wavelength of 1000 nm to 2200 nm, and a second conductivity type cladding layer made of InGaAsP containing at least In and P, wherein the second conductivity type cladding layer is configured to be on a light extraction side. The surface of a light extraction face of the second conductivity type cladding layer is a roughened surface which has a surface roughness Ra of 0.03 μm or more and has a random irregularity pattern.
