Abstract:
Disclosed herein are various embodiments for laser apparatuses. In an example embodiment, the laser apparatus comprises (1) a laser-emitting epitaxial structure having a front and a back, wherein the laser-emitting epitaxial structure is back-emitting and comprises a plurality of laser regions within a single mesa structure, each laser region having an aperture through which laser beams are controllably emitted, (2) a micro-lens array located on the back of the laser-emitting epitaxial structure, wherein each micro-lens of the micro-lens array is aligned with a laser region of the laser-emitting epitaxial structure, and (3) a non-coherent beam combiner positioned to non-coherently combine a plurality of laser beams emitted from the apertures.

Claim (Index 18):
The method of  claim 17  wherein each of the laser cavities has an optical axis for laser beam emissions, wherein the optical axes are perpendicular to the back of the laser-emitting epitaxial structure.
