Membrane-external-cavity surface-emitting lasers (MECSELs) consist of an epitaxial active region directly bonded to at least one transparent heatspreader with external cavity mirrors for feedback. This structure enables significant flexibility in the emission wavelength and yields a standalone laser gain medium amenable to enhanced power scaling via optimized thermal management. We outline a 4” wafer-scale manufacturing process for dual-SiC-heatspreader (SiC/epi/SiC) gain chips, incorporating external dielectric coatings and metallization for intimate mounting to a heatsink. Our process leverages low-temperature wafer bonding in concert with traditional deposition, lithography, and etching steps, allows hundreds of MECSEL gain chips to be simultaneously produced.
