摘要:
An optical device is described comprising a phase-locked diodelaser array (10), radiating in a stable supermode, and a collimatorlens (46). By arranging a polarisation-rotator (22) and a polarisation-sensitive beam combiner (30ʹ) in the radiation path, the two radiation lobes (11, 12) are superposed so that a single radiation spot (S) can be obtained. The quality of the spot can be improved by an arrangement of a prim system (40) and a spatial filter (45) in the lateral far field.

An optical device comprising a phase-locked diodelaser array (10) and a collimatorlens (17) is described. By arranging behind the collimatorlens a prism system (30, 34) of at least one prism to broaden the far field radiation pattern in the lateral plane (XY) and a spatial filter (19) to select a favoured mode, the laser radiation can be concentrated into a single, round and diffraction limited spot (V).

摘要:
Radiation-emitting semiconductor diodes are used inter alia in information processing systems as diode lasers or LEDs. Such a radiation-emitting semiconductor diode comprises a active layer situated between two cladding layers, which layers each comprise a mixed crystal of III-V semiconductor materials, atoms of different elements, often having a certain degree of ordering, being present on at least one sublattice. An example is a InGaP/InAlGaP diode laser which emits at 670 nm and is highly suitable for various applications. There is a particular demand for diodes which have a high maximum operating temperature at a given wavelength. According to the invention, the composition of the semiconductor material of the active layer is so chosen that this layer has a compression strain, while the atoms of the different elements have a less orderly distribution at least in the semiconductor material of the active layer. This strongly reduces the string current, while the emission wavelength remains substantially unchanged. In a preferred embodiment, the distribution in the semiconductor materials of the cladding layers is also less orderly, which improves the confinement and thus the temperature dependence characteristics of the starting current. The maximum operating temperature of diode lasers according to the invention is considerably increased owing to a low starting current and a low temperature dependence of this starting current.
