Provided is a Vertical External Cavity Surface Emitting Laser. The dicots can include soybeans and cotton. The base wall has opposite ends and opposite sides. The technology stacks have components that are declaratively configurable such that they can provide their functionality autonomously and yet can also, as a unit, in performing their respective functions, cooperatively perform the processes encoded by the packages. The auxiliary device is located externally of the base and is operable independently of the operating circuitry.
