  • Cavity and packaging designs for arrays of vertical cavity surface emitting lasers with or without extended cavities
    Publication number: 20070147458
    Abstract: Arrays of surface emitting lasers are disclosed. A top contact plate is patterned with apertures and used to form an electrical connection to a top surface of a laser die. The top contact plate reduces electrical resistance and improves current uniformity compared with conventional contacts formed by plating.
