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 9):
The laser diode of  claim 7 , wherein a spacing between the laser diode and at an immediately adjacent laser diodes of the plurality of laser diodes is less than about 150 micrometers, less than about 100 micrometers, or less than about 50 micrometers, and greater than about 10 micrometers.
