Abstract
In some implementations, an emitter assembly includes a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) device. The VCSEL device may include a substrate. The VCSEL device may include a plurality of VCSELs on the substrate. The VCSEL device may include at least one anode layer on the substrate and electrically connected to the plurality of VCSELs. The VCSEL device may include a cathode electrode over at least a portion of multiple VCSELs, of the plurality of VCSELs, and electrically connected to the multiple VCSELs. The cathode electrode may include multiple cathode electrode fingers. The emitter assembly may include a bridge element that electrically connects a first finger of the multiple cathode electrode fingers and a second finger of the multiple cathode electrode fingers.
