Abstract
In the case of a multiple semiconductor laser structure containing a plurality of laser pn junctions stacked vertically one on top of the other, different operating temperatures of the active zones occur during operation on account of the different distance within the layer structure from a common heat sink. The displacements in the emission wavelength caused by the temperature influence are compensated by a variation of the thickness and/or material composition of the active zones, so that a narrow wavelength distribution is achieved.
