    摘要: To obtain both a high power and a single mode oscillation of a semiconductor laser, the semiconductor laser includes a diffraction grating layer. The diffraction grating layer includes a λ/4 phase shift portion, and includes first and second regions. The first region has a diffraction pattern arranged therein, the diffraction pattern being formed to reflect a light beam having a Bragg wavelength and having first and second refractive index regions alternately arranged therein. The second region is provided with a first portion that reflects the light beam having the Bragg wavelength in the first region and a second portion that transmits the Bragg wavelength in the first region. The second portion is formed of the first and second refractive index regions. A total length of the first portion in a direction in which the diffraction grating layer extends is shorter than a length of the first region.

    摘要: A multi-section semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) includes at least two sections in series—an input section at an input side and an output section at an output side—with the input section having a higher optical confinement (also referred to as a high gamma) and the output section having a lower optical confinement (also referred to as a low gamma). The input section may also have a shorter length than the output section. The multi-section structure allows optimizing the input side and the output side design separately such that the input section provides a high gain section configured to quickly increase optical power and the output section provides a low differential gain section that improves saturation. As a result, the multi-section SOA can achieve higher output power with high gain and lower signal noise while demanding low input power.

    摘要: A VCSEL array comprises a plurality of non-isolated VCSEL emitters. Each non-isolated VCSEL emitter comprises a first reflector region, a current confining oxide layer, an oxide aperture, an active region, and a second reflector region. The current confining oxide layer and oxide aperture are made by oxidizing a relatively high Al-content layer via separate oxidation holes. The separate oxidation holes surround the oxide aperture. The first reflector regions of the plurality of non-isolated VCSEL structures are connected such that they are not isolated from each other completely by any isolation structure, and the second reflector regions of the plurality of non-isolated VCSEL structures are connected such that they are not isolated from each other completely by any isolation structure.

    摘要: A light-emitting device includes a light-emitting unit, an insulating layer, and a conductive layer to which a predetermined potential is applied. The light-emitting unit includes a first semiconductor layer, a second semiconductor layer having a conductivity type different from a conductivity type of the first semiconductor layer, and a light-emitting layer provided between the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer. The insulating layer covers the light-emitting unit. The conductive layer is provided in the insulating layer and electrically separated from the light-emitting unit.

    摘要: Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) and associated methods of manufacturing are provided. An example VCSEL includes a first reflector, a second reflector, and an active region disposed between the first reflector and the second reflector. The VCSEL further includes an electrical aperture defining a current confinement region configured to direct current to the active region and an optical aperture defining a medium through which light produced by the active region is emitted from the VCSEL. At least one dimension of the optical aperture of the VCSEL is formed independent of the electrical aperture of the VCSEL. In some instances, the dimension of the optical aperture is a first diameter such that the first diameter of the optical aperture is formed independent of a second diameter defined by the electrical aperture.
