Abstract

In some implementations, an emitter array may include a substrate, an epitaxial structure on the substrate, a plurality of bottom-emitting emitters defined in the epitaxial structure, a first electrical contact positioned at a top side of the epitaxial structure, a second electrical contact positioned at the top side of the epitaxial structure, and a metal layer disposed on a bottom side of the substrate. The metal layer may be electrically connected to the second electrical contact. The metal layer may include one or more openings for light emission of the plurality of bottom-emitting emitters.
