Abstract

A semiconductor laser structure includes a substrate and an active region having at least one active laser layer. The active region is included in a ridge protruding from an exposed surface of the substrate. The ridge extends in the direction of the laser cavity and includes at least two opposed and electrically connected lateral extensions defining respective metal bonding pads distributed along the length of the laser cavity.
