Abstract

A short-wavelength vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) is flip-chip bonded to a long-wavelength VCSEL. The short-wavelength VCSEL is used to optically-pump the long-wavelength VCSEL. Certain embodiments of the invention can serve as optical sources for optical fiber communication systems. Methods also are provided.
