SMALL PITCH VCSEL ARRAY

Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) and VCSEL arrays having small size and small pitch are provided. Particularly, the present disclosure relates to novel and advantageous chip layouts for ensuring low resistance devices with good yield for small pitch arrays. More particularly, the present disclosure describes approaches for reducing the area consumed by a VCSEL structure so that a higher density VCSEL device may be achieved. 提供了垂直腔表面发射激光器(VCSEL)以及具有小尺寸和小间距的VCSEL阵列。具体地说，本公开涉及新颖和有利的芯片布局，用于确保对于小间距阵列，低电阻装置具有良好的良率。更具体地说，本公开描述了用于减小VCSEL结构消耗的面积使得可以实现更高密度的VCSEL装置的方法。
