Abstract: A surface-emitting laser includes an active layer; multiple reflectors sandwiching the active layer; and an electrode pair connected to a power supply, through which a current is injected into the active layer. The surface-emitting laser emits at least one laser beam during a current injection period when the current injected into the active layer through the electrode pair during the current injection period is a first current and emits at least one laser beam during a current decrease period when the current injected into the active layer through the electrode pair during the current injection period is a second current exceeding the first current. The current decrease period is after the current injection period. The current injected into the active layer during the current decrease period is lower than the current injected into the active layer during the current injection period.

Abstract: The resin composition according to one aspect of the present invention includes a thermoplastic resin (A), a phosphorus-containing flame retardant (B), and a copolymer (C) of an ?-olefin and an unsaturated carboxylic acid, wherein: a ratio of the phosphorus-containing flame retardant (B) to the thermoplastic resin (A) is 5% by mass or more and 400% by mass or less, and a ratio of the copolymer (C) to the phosphorus-containing flame retardant (B) is 10% by mass or less.

Abstract: A modifier for thermoplastic resin, comprising polytetrafluoroethylene (A), and an alkyl (meth)acrylate-based polymer (B) containing 70% by weight or more of a constituent unit composed of an alkyl (meth)acrylate carrying an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; and a thermoplastic resin composition containing this modifier.
