Abstract
A 780 nm monolithic individually addressable 8-beam diode laser with 10mW optical power was developed for use in a laser scanning unit. Beam to beam spacing is $30\;{\mu}m$ and an air bridge interconnection process was developed for individual operations. From electrical and optical characteristic measurements, the developed device is a suitable optical source for a high speed laser scanning unit in multi-function printing systems and laser beam printers.
