A monolithic apparatus has a laser optical cavity. The laser optical cavity has a multi-layer structure that includes a first active semiconductor multi-layer and a second semiconductor multi-layer. The second semiconductor multi-layer is located laterally adjacent to the first active semiconductor multi-layer. The first active semiconductor multi-layer includes a sequence of quantum well structures that produce light of a lasing frequency in response to being electrically pumped. The second semiconductor multi-layer includes a sequence of quantum well structures and is configured to both absorb light of the lasing frequency and produce one of parametric light and harmonic light in response to absorbing light of the lasing frequency.
