摘要:
Systems and methods that accept the emitted radiant power from such a combined diode laser structure (laser bar stack) and efficiently direct essentially all of it into the pump cladding of a double-clad fiber amplifier, such that the radiant power will then be absorbed by a rare-earth doped core in the active fiber.
摘要:
Systems and methods for providing a low stress electrode connection capable of carrying a high electrical current to an edge-emitting device, such as a laser diode are described. Systems and methods for providing mechanisms to allow precise adjustment of the relative position of one heat-sink for an optical edge emitting device relative to an adjacent heat-sink in a stack of heat-sinks are also provided herein.
摘要:
The invention is a process for putting down coatings of aluminum oxide on optical surfaces using electron-beam deposition in an oxygen-enriched atmosphere. Particularly good results are obtained when oxygen is flowed over or directed at the surface to be coated. Such coatings have extremely low losses compared to many conventional optical coatings and are particularly useful for anti-reflection coatings on various devices. In particular, for optical devices with indium phosphide surfaces operating at wavelengths near 1.3 .mu.m, the optical properties of aluminum oxide coatings are near optimum for anti-reflection coatings and the thermal expansion characteristics are a close match to those of indium phosphide.

Electrical contacts with low specific-contact resistance to In-based Group III-V compound semiconductors (e.g., p-InGaAsP) are formed by electron beam depositing a thin Pt layer directly on the semiconductor and sintering at about 450.degree.-525.degree. C. for about 5-30 minutes. Light emitting diodes without dark spot defects can be fabricated using this technique.

摘要:
A method of attaching a semiconductor component to a heat-sink where the component is first placed onto a heat-sink substrate whose attachment surface comprises a malleable-metal film, a semiconductor component is placed onto the malleable-metal film, and pressure and heat is applied for a predetermined time to the stack including substrate with malleable-metal film and semiconductor component.
摘要:
The method of these teachings includes processing a semiconductor structure forming an active waveguide of a semiconductor laser in an environment free of contamination in order to provide contamination free mirror facets at the ends of the active waveguide, and depositing a single crystal passivation layer comprised of a semiconductor whose bandgap exceeds that of the active layer and the waveguide layers and that does not form misfit dislocations with the laser diode semiconductor, the deposition occurring at a temperature at which the semiconductor structure does not degrade.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to a patterned surface composite structure. The structure includes a first material having a specific coefficient-of-thermal-expansion and a second material having a different coefficient-of-thermal-expansion. The first material can be patterned with specific features and the second material may be located between those features, thereby forming areas having a coefficient-of-thermal-expansion between that of the first and second materials. A thermally emissive device, such as a laser diode, may be attached to a surface of the patterned composite structure.
摘要:
Proposed is a method of fabricating III-V and II-VI compound semiconductors and a resulting product where there is formed on the surface a coating which can function as a diffusion mask and/or a passivation layer. The coating is a silicon layer deposited by a method which does not damage the semiconductor surface.
摘要:
Photodiodes (10) are fabricated in a single step diffusion process which exploits the characteristic of certain acceptors to form an anomalous diffusion profile (VI) including shallow and deep fronts (VIa and b) joined by an upwardly concave segment (VIc). By performing this type of diffusion into a low-doped n.sup.- -type body (12) with a carrier concentration (VII) below that of the concave segment, a p.sup.+ --p.sup.- junction (15) is formed at the depth of the concave segment and a p.sup.- --n.sup.- junction (17) is formed at a greater depth. The zone (16) between the junctions is at least partially depleted and forms the active region of a p.sup.+ --p.sup.- --n.sup.- photodiode. Specifically described are InP:Cd photodiodes.
