Abstract
A method and apparatus for generating a high power beam of light is described in which individual laser pixel elements are laterally defined and isolated in a wafer of solid state gain medium material and mirrors are formed on each side of the wafer to produce an optical cavity resonator. An array of diode lasers is used to pump adjacent pixels to stimulate light emission by each pixel.
