VCSEL Packaging and VCSEL Array Configurations

摘要

Various VCSEL device packages and VCSEL array configurations are disclosed. In one example, a device contains two or more VCSELs, each VCSEL having a substantially triangular body. Such device packages allow for denser VCSEL array configurations than those provided by traditional VCSEL device packages. The denser VCSEL array configurations not only allow for more VCSELs to be batch manufactured per wafer but also allow for denser layouts on various mounting surfaces.
