Abstract:
A laser diode includes a semiconductor structure having an n-type layer, an active region, and a p-type layer. One of the n-type and p-type layers includes a lasing aperture thereon having an optical axis oriented perpendicular to a surface of the active region between the n-type and p-type layers. First and second contacts are electrically connected to the n-type and p-type layers, respectively. The first and/or second contacts are smaller than the lasing aperture in at least one dimension. Related arrays and methods of fabrication are also discussed.

Claim (Index 7):
The laser diode of  claim 1 , wherein the laser diode comprise one of a plurality of laser diodes arranged in an array on a surface of a non-native substrate, wherein the array comprises a LIDAR emitter array, and further comprising:\n electrically conductive thin-film interconnects that extend along the surface of the non-native substrate and onto the first and/or second contacts to electrically connect the laser diode to one or more of the plurality of laser diodes.
