Abstract: A vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) device may include a substrate layer and a first set of epitaxial layers, for a first VCSEL, disposed on the substrate layer. The first set of epitaxial layers may include a first set of mirrors and at least one first active layer. The VCSEL device may include a second set of epitaxial layers, for a second VCSEL, disposed on the first set of epitaxial layers for the first VCSEL. The second set of epitaxial layers may include a second set of mirrors and at least one second active layer. The first VCSEL and the second VCSEL may be configured to emit light in a light emission direction. The at least one first active layer of the first VCSEL may be offset in the light emission direction from the at least one second active layer of the second VCSEL.

Abstract: A closely spaced emitter array may include a first emitter comprising a first plurality of structures and a second emitter, adjacent to the first emitter, comprising a second plurality of structures. The first emitter and the second emitter may be configured in the closely spaced emitter array such that different types of structures between the first plurality of structures and the second plurality of structures do not overlap while maintaining close spacing between the first emitter and the second emitter.

Abstract: A vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) may include an epitaxial structure that includes a first active layer, a second active layer, and a tunnel junction therebetween. The VCSEL may include a set of contacts that are electrically connected to the epitaxial structure. The set of contacts may include three or more contacts, and the set of contacts may be electrically separated from each other on the VCSEL. At least one contact, of the set of contacts, may be electrically connected to the epitaxial structure at a depth between the first active layer and the second active layer.

Abstract: In some implementations, a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) device includes a substrate layer and a first set of epitaxial layers for a bottom-emitting VCSEL disposed on the substrate layer. The first set of epitaxial layers may include a first set of mirrors and at least one first active layer. The VCSEL device may include a second set of epitaxial layers for a top-emitting VCSEL disposed on the first set of epitaxial layers for the bottom-emitting VCSEL. The second set of epitaxial layers may include a second set of mirrors and at least one second active layer. The top-emitting VCSEL and the bottom-emitting VCSEL may be configured to emit light in opposite light emission directions.

Abstract: An emitter array may comprise a plurality of emitters and a metallization layer to electrically connect the plurality of emitters. The metallization layer may have a first end and a second end. The plurality of emitters may include a first emitter and a second emitter. The first emitter may be located closer to the first end than the second emitter. The first emitter and the second emitter have differently sized structures to compensate for a first impedance of the metallization layer between the first end and the first emitter and a second impedance between the first end and the second emitter.

Abstract: A VCSEL may include an n-type substrate layer and an n-type bottom mirror on a surface of the n-type substrate layer. The VCSEL may include an active region on the n-type bottom mirror and a p-type layer on the active region. The VCSEL may include an oxidation layer over the active region to provide optical and electrical confinement of the VCSEL. The VCSEL may include a tunnel junction over the p-type layer to reverse a carrier type of an n-type top mirror. Either the oxidation layer is on or in the p-type layer and the tunnel junction is on the oxidation layer, or the tunnel junction is on the p-type layer and the oxidation layer is on the tunnel junction. The VCSEL may include the n-type top mirror over the tunnel junction, a top contact layer over the n-type top mirror, and a top metal on the top contact layer.

Abstract: In some implementations, an emitter module may include an emitter layer including a first emitter array configured to produce a first beam that provides flood illumination, and a second emitter array configured to produce a second beam that provides spot illumination. The emitter module may include a first optics layer, positioned in front of the emitter layer, that includes a first collimating lens positioned in front of the first emitter array, and a second collimating lens positioned in front of the second emitter array. The emitter module may include a second optics layer, positioned in front of the first optics layer, that includes an optical diffuser positioned in front of the first collimating lens, and a beamsplitter grating positioned in front of the second collimating lens.

Abstract: A wafer may comprise a substrate layer and a plurality of vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) formed on or within the substrate layer. A respective trench-to-trench distance associated with the plurality of VCSELs may vary across the wafer based on a predicted variation of an oxidation rate of an oxidation layer across the wafer.
