1. A structure for a nitride laser diode array comprising:

  • a semiconductor membrane comprising at least two active layers, said semiconductor membrane having a first crystal plane;

    a thermally conducting substrate having a second crystal plane, said thermally conducting substrate supporting said semiconductor membrane and being attached to said semiconductor membrane to enhance thermal coupling between said thermally conducting substrate and said plurality of active layers;

    a metal layer disposed between said semiconductor membrane and said thermally conducting substrate, the metal layer having a thickness of less than approximately 10 micro meters; and

    three or more electrodes to electrically bias said laser diode array, the three or more electrodes to allow individual addressing of each active layer in the plurality of active layers.
