Methods for photonic integration in non-polar and semi-polar oriented wave-guided optical devices

摘要

A laser diode having a surface region configured on either a non-polar or semi-polar orientation. The laser diode also has N waveguide structures each overlying a different portion of the surface region. Each of the N waveguide structures is coupled to at least one immediately adjacent one of the N waveguide structures and extends in a different direction than immediately adjacent ones of the N waveguide structures.
