    Abstract: A surface emitting laser may include an isolation layer including a first center portion and a first plurality of outer portions extending from the first center portion, and a metal layer including a second center portion and a second plurality of outer portions extending from the second center portion. The metal layer may be formed on the isolation layer such that a first outer portion, of the second plurality of outer portions, is formed over one of the first plurality of outer portions. The surface emitting laser may include a passivation layer including a plurality of openings. An opening may be formed over the first outer portion. The surface emitting laser may include a plurality of oxidation trenches. An oxidation trench may be positioned at least partially between the first outer portion and a second outer portion of the second plurality of outer portions.

    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) array may include a plurality of VCSELs. A size of an emission area of a first VCSEL, of the plurality of VCSELs, may be different from a size of an emission area of a second VCSEL of the plurality of VCSELs. The first VCSEL may be located closer to a center of the VCSEL array than the second VCSEL. A difference between the size of the emission area of the first VCSEL and the size of the emission area of the second VCSEL may be associated with reducing a difference in operating temperature between the first VCSEL and the second VCSEL, or reducing a difference in optical power output between the first VCSEL and the second VCSEL.
