Abstract

A laser diode bar: includes a semiconductor substrate comprising a first semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type; a first laser diode stack on an upper side of the semiconductor layer; a second laser diode stack on the upper side of the semiconductor layer, the second laser diode stack being electrically connected in series with the first laser diode stack, in which an electrical conductivity of the first semiconductor layer of the first conductivity type is higher than an electrical conductivity of each semiconductor layer of the first and second laser diode stacks; and a first electrode layer on the first laser diode stack, in which the first electrode layer electrically connects the first laser diode stack to a portion of the first semiconductor layer of the first conductivity type that is between the first laser diode stack and the second laser diode stack.
