Mode-locked vertical external cavity semiconductor lasers are a unique class of nonlinear dynamical systems driven far from equilibrium. We present a novel, to the best of our knowledge, experimental result, supported by rigorous microscopic simulations, of two coexisting mode-locked V-cavity configurations sourced by a common gain medium and operating as independent channels at angle controlled separated wavelengths. Microscopic simulations support pulses coincident on the common gain chip extracting photons from a nearby pair of coexisting kinetic holes burned in the carrier distributions.
