High　quality　light　source　can　be　achieved　in　coupled　vertical　cavity　surface　emitting　laser　arrays.　Electrically　controlled　beam　steering　is　easily　achieved　via　tuning　resonance　between　elements.　In　the　experiment,　the　beam　steering　in　1×2　arrays　is　continuous　and　controlled.　The　maximum　deflection　angle　is　1.4　degrees.　The　power　concentrated　in　the　central　lobe　is　34.7%~43.9%.　The　divergence　in　the　far-field　profile　of　the　in-phase　mode　is　3.66　degrees.　The　properties　of　near-field　profiles　and　far-field　profiles　under　different　currents　are　analyzed.　The　mode　switching　between　out-of-phase　and　in-phase　mode　was　obtained.　©2017　by　SCITEPRESS　-　Science　and　Technology　Publications,　Lda.　All　rights　reserved.
