1. A method of manufacturing a monolithically integrated optical device, the method comprising:
- providing a gallium and nitrogen containing substrate member having a surface region, the surface region being configured on either a non-polar surface orientation or a semi-polar surface orientation;
forming a first waveguide structure configured in a first direction overlying a first portion of the surface region, the first waveguide structure configured in the first direction being characterized by a first gain and loss; and
forming a second waveguide structure configured in a second direction overlying a second portion of the surface region, the second waveguide structure configured in the second direction being characterized by a second gain and loss,wherein the first direction is different from the second direction.

Abstract
A monolithically integrated optical device. The device has a gallium and nitrogen containing substrate member having a surface region configured on either a non-polar or semi-polar orientation. The device also has a first waveguide structure configured in a first direction overlying a first portion of the surface region. The device also has a second waveguide structure integrally configured with the first waveguide structure. The first direction is substantially perpendicular to the second direction.
