Original Abstract Submitted

A semiconductor light emitting device includes: a surface emitting laser element including an element front surface and configured to emit laser light from the element front surface; an element container including a bottom wall where the surface emitting laser element is arranged and a peripheral wall surrounding the surface emitting laser element when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the element front surface, the bottom wall and the peripheral wall constituting a containing space which contains the surface emitting laser element and is open on a same side as the element front surface; a diffusion layer covering the element front surface in the containing space and including a diffusion material; and a reflector covering at least one selected from the group of the bottom wall and the peripheral wall in the containing space and made of a resin material having a higher reflectivity than the diffusion layer.
