Abstract
A laser device for use with a display including a plurality of pixels is disclosed. The laser device includes a gain section and a modulator. The gain section is electrically coupled with a first current or voltage source. The gain section is configured to selectively amplify an optical power of light reflecting within the gain section based on a first drive current or voltage supplied from the first current or voltage source to the gain section. The modulator is optically coupled with the gain section. The modulator is electrically coupled with a second current or voltage source. The modulator is configured to selectively attenuate or amplify an optical power of light received from the gain section based on a second drive current or voltage supplied from the second current or voltage source to the modulator. Light emitted from the modulator is provided to the display.
