A first layer, a first spacer layer, and a second layer of a semiconductor wafer can be etched to produce a plurality of columnar structures extending from the substrate layer and including a first optical cavity situated about the first gain medium, a second optical cavity situated about the second gain medium, and a first spacer region contacting the first gain medium and the second gain medium. Also, a photonic microparticle formed from a layered semiconductor wafer and of a columnar structure having a first optical cavity situated about a first gain medium, a second optical cavity situated about a second gain medium, and a first spacer region contacting the first gain medium and the second gain medium. The first optical cavity and the second optical cavity in the photonic microparticle are each capable of generating laser light with a distinct spectral peak when energetically excited.
