Abstract
An optical device includes a laser or amplifier positioned on a base. The laser includes a ridge of a gain medium positioned on the base such that the base extends out from under the ridge. The ridge includes a top that connects lateral sides of the ridge. Electronics are configured to drive an electrical current through the ridge such that the electrical current passes through one or more of the lateral sides of the ridge.
