Laser package having multiple emitters with color wheel

摘要

Method and devices for emitting electromagnetic radiation at high power using nonpolar or semipolar gallium containing substrates such as GaN, AlN, InN, InGaN, AlGaN, and AlInGaN, are provided. The laser devices include multiple laser emitters integrated onto a substrate (in a module), which emit green or blue laser radiation.
