Abstract
An optical emission array includes an optical input portion configured to provide a parent laser source for the optical emission array, and an optical output portion including a plurality of child laser emitters. Each child laser emitter of the plurality of child laser emitters is injection-locked to the parent laser source. The optical emission array further includes at least two optical distribution branches (i) disposed between the optical input portion and the optical output portion, and (ii) optically connecting at least two child laser emitters of the plurality of child laser emitters, respectively, to the parent laser source.
