Abstract: There are provided methods of growing arrays of light emitters on substrates. An example method includes adjusting a growth parameter of a given light emitter of an array of light emitters on a substrate to obtain an adjusted growth parameter. The adjusting may be based on a location of the given light emitter on the substrate. The adjusting may be to compensate for nonuniformity in a growth profile of the light emitters across the substrate. The nonuniformity may be associated with a corresponding nonuniformity among wavelengths of light generated by the light emitters. Adjusting the growth parameter may be to adjust the corresponding nonuniformity. The method may also include growing the given light emitter on the substrate based on the adjusted growth parameter. Arrays of corresponding light emitters are also described.
