ABSTRACT:
A surface emitting semiconductor laser system having four cavities that couple light from a single aperture. Each of the four cavities overlaps at the outcoupling aperture. Each cavity is fabricated to resonate at a different central wavelength, outputting a different frequency of light, each of which can be independently modulated.
