Abstract
Monolithic laser arrays having non-uniform lasers are disclosed. Example monolithic laser arrays provide a substantially uniform temperature distribution and include a substrate, a first set of lasers arranged on the substrate and separated by a first distance, and a second set of lasers arranged on the substrate and separated by a second distance greater than the first distance. The disclosed monolithic laser arrays yield an output with a substantially narrow optical spectral width.
