Abstract

Grating-outcoupled surface-emitting semiconductor lasers emitting two independent wavelengths separated by 9.5 nm from a common aperture in a monolithic crossed configuration is demonstrated. This configuration provides integrated wavelength multiplexing at ∼1300 nm from a single aperture into a single fiber, simplifying packaging and reducing cost.
