(color online) Coupling lines (red solid lines) which indicate the existence of heat coupling between mesas in (a) normal VCSEL array and (b) optimized VCSEL array. The green solid–dashed line in panel (b) represents the max mesa distance ( ) that can be counted as a coupling line. CN: coupling number.
