Abstract
VCSEL array configurations for use with parallel WDM transmitters are disclosed. Transmitters that use several wavelengths of VCSELs are built up out of multiple die to avoid the difficulty of manufacturing monolithic arrays of VCSELs with different optical wavelengths. VCSEL configurations are laid out to insure that VCSELs of different wavelengths that destined for the same waveguide are close together.
