the peak to peak deviation is preferably set equal to the width of the electrically pumped device minus the width of the optically pumped device the peak peak deviation and a user defined radius may then be used to determine the period of the deviation of the position of the electrically pumped device relative to the optically pumped device 110 generally it is preferred to use as small a radii of curvature that provides acceptable scattering typically on the order of about 1000 u03bcm one of skill in the art will appreciate that the present invention may be realized with alternate design techniques therefore the disclosed design process is by way of example only and not by way of limitation referring to the top view of fig6 in an orthogonal configuration the electrically pumped device 148 and the optically pumped device 160 are oriented at right angles with respect to each other advantageously the performance of the alternate orthogonal embodiment is relatively immune to beam instabilities in the electrically pumped device the material composition of the electrically pumped device may again be some combination of group iii v compound semiconductors such as for example gaas algaas ingaas algaas or inp ingaasp referring to the cross section of fig7 in one embodiment the electrically pumped device may comprise a laser diode having active region 150 disposed between a p type layer.
