Abstract: A plurality of dies includes a gallium and nitrogen containing substrate having a surface region and an epitaxial material formed overlying the surface region. The epitaxial material includes an n-type cladding region, an active region having at least one active layer overlying the n-type cladding region, and a p-type cladding region overlying the active region. The epitaxial material is patterned to form the plurality of dies on the surface region, the dies corresponding to a laser device. Each of the plurality of dies includes a release region composed of a material with a smaller bandgap than an adjacent epitaxial material. A lateral width of the release region is narrower than a lateral width of immediately adjacent layers above and below the release region to form undercut regions bounding each side of the release region. Each die also includes a passivation region extending along sidewalls of the active region.

Abstract: A multi-wavelength light emitting device is manufactured by forming first and second epitaxial materials overlying first and second surface regions. The first and second epitaxial materials are patterned to form a plurality of first and second epitaxial dice. At least one of the first plurality of epitaxial dice and at least one of the second plurality of epitaxial dice are transferred from first and second substrates, respectively, to a carrier wafer by selectively etching a release region, separating from the substrate each of the epitaxial dice that are being transferred, and selectively bonding to the carrier wafer each of the epitaxial dice that are being transferred. The transferred first and second epitaxial dice are processed on the carrier wafer to form a plurality of light emitting devices capable of emitting at least a first wavelength and a second wavelength.

Abstract: A light source system or apparatus configured with an infrared illumination source includes a gallium and nitrogen containing laser diode based white light source. The light source system includes a first pathway configured to direct directional electromagnetic radiation from the gallium and nitrogen containing laser diode to a first wavelength converter and to output a white light emission. In some embodiments infrared emitting laser diodes are included to generate the infrared illumination. In some embodiments infrared emitting wavelength converter members are included to generate the infrared illumination. In some embodiments a second wavelength converter is optically excited by a UV or blue emitting gallium and nitrogen containing laser diode, a laser diode operating in the long wavelength visible spectrum such as a green laser diode or a red laser diode, by a near infrared emitting laser diode, by the white light emission produced by the first wavelength converter, or by some combination thereof. A beam shaper may be configured to direct the white light emission and an infrared emission for illuminating a target of interest and transmitting a data signal. In some configurations, sensors and feedback loops are included.
