    摘要: A light emitting diode (LED) grown on a substrate doped with one or more rare earth or transition elements. The dopant ions absorb some or all of the light from the LED's active layer, pumping the dopant ion electrons to a higher energy state. The electrons are naturally drawn to their equilibrium state and they emit light at a wavelength that depends on the type of dopant ion. The invention is particularly applicable to nitride based LEDs emitting UV light and grown on a sapphire substrate doped with chromium. The chromium ions absorb the UV light, exciting the electrons on ions to a higher energy state. When they return to their equilibrium state they emit red light and some of the red light will emit from the LED's surface. The LED can also have active layers that emit green, blue and UV light, such that the LED emits green, blue, red and UV light which combines to create white light. Alternatively, it can have one active layer and grown on a sapphire substrate doped with Cr, Ti, and Co such that the substrate absorbs the UV light and emits blue, green, and red light. The invention is also capable of providing a tunable LED over a variety of color shades. The invention is also applicable to solid state lasers having one or more active layers emitting UV light with the laser grown on a sapphire substrate doped with one or more rare earth of transition elements.

    摘要: Light emitting diodes include a substrate having first and second opposing faces and that is transparent to optical radiation in a predetermined wavelength range and that is patterned to define, in cross-section, a plurality of pedestals that extend into the substrate from the first face towards the second face. A diode region on the second face is configured to emit light in the predetermined wavelength range, into the substrate upon application of voltage across the diode region. A mounting support on the diode region, opposite the substrate is configured to support the diode region, such that the light that is emitted from the diode region into the substrate, is emitted from the first face upon application of voltage across the diode region. A reflector is provided between the mounting support and the diode region, that is configured to reflect light that is emitted from the diode region back into the diode region, through the substrate that is transparent to optical radiation in the predetermined wavelength range and from the plurality of pedestals, upon application of voltage across the diode region. A layer of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) is provided between the reflector and the diode region.

    摘要: A spare receiver in a CMTS is used to prevent loss of service to subscribers during a failure of a receiver. The beginning of a mass modem de-registration event is detected by the operator or automatically by the CMTS. Upon detection of the beginning of the mass modem de-registration event, the spare receiver matrices to the troubled receiver and is configured according the communication parameters of the troubled receiver. The spare receiver sends communications to one or modems normally registered with the troubled receiver to determine if the mass de-registration event is the result of a failed receiver or a connection problem. In the event of a failed receiver, the spare receiver stays matriced with the troubled receiver and passes communications to/from from modems normally registered with it. The cable operator may swap out the troubled receiver and repair the system without significant loss of service to the subscribers.

    摘要: A method for protecting the surface of a semiconductor material from damage and dopant passivation is described. A barrier layer of dense or reactive material is deposited on the semiconductor material shortly after growth in a growth reactor such as a MOCVD reactor, using the MOCVD source gasses. The barrier layer blocks the diffusion of hydrogen into the material. The reactor can then be cooled in a reactive or non-reactive gas ambience. The semiconductor material can then be removed from the reactor with little or no passivation of the dopant species. The barrier layer can be removed using a variety of etching processes, including wet chemical etching or can be left at the semiconductor material for surface protection. The barrier layer can also be a gettering layer that chemically binds hydrogen trapped in the semiconductor material and/or blocks hydrogen diffusion into the material.

    摘要: A spare receiver in a CMTS is used to non-invasively test the upstream signal quality of a network without disrupting a subscriber's operations. A modem registered with a receiver on the network is selected as a testing modem. The spare receiver is RF connected to the receiver and the testing modem is tuned to the spare receiver. The testing modem is used to test the signal quality of the network, such as by using a SNR test. The testing modem remains registered with the network during the testing operation. Other modems are prevented from registering with the spare receiver. If other modems attempt to register on the spare receiver, the system overrides their attempts and moves them back to another receiver. The testing modem is returned to its original receiver when testing is completed.

    摘要: This invention describes new LEDs having light extraction structures on or within the LED to increase its efficiency. The new light extraction structures provide surfaces for reflecting, refracting or scattering light into directions that are more favorable for the light to escape into the package. The structures can be arrays of light extraction elements or disperser layers. The light extraction elements can have many different shapes and are placed in many locations to increase the efficiency of the LED over conventional LEDs. The disperser layers provide scattering centers for light and can be placed in many locations as well. The new LEDs with arrays of light extraction elements are fabricated with standard processing techniques making them highly manufacturable at costs similar to standard LEDs. The new LEDs with disperser layers are manufactured using new methods and are also highly manufacturable.
