    摘要: A light emitting device is provided with mirrors placed on opposite sides of the source of light and spaced apart by a distance that is determined as a function of the wavelength of the light emitted by the light source. One particular embodiment of the present invention spaces the mirrors apart by a distance equal to n.lambda./2+.lambda./4, where n is an integer value that is maintained as small as possible within practical constraints. The close proximity of the mirrors and their particular spacing which is determined as a function of the wavelength inhibits undesirable modes of light emission in directions toward the mirrors. This inhibition of light in undesirable modes perpendicular to the mirrors enhances the production of light in modes that are parallel to the mirror surfaces. The overall light output efficiency of the device is enhanced through the inhibition of these undesirable modes.

    摘要: A VCSEL with undoped mirrors. An essentially undoped bottom DBR mirror is formed on a substrate. A periodically doped first conduction layer region is formed on the bottom DBR mirror. The first conduction layer region is heavily doped at a location where the optical electric field is at about a minimum. An active layer, including quantum wells, is on the first conduction layer region. A periodically doped second conduction layer region is connected to the active layer. The second conduction layer region is heavily doped where the optical electric field is at a minimum. An aperture is formed in the epitaxial structure above the quantum wells. A top mirror coupled to the periodically doped second conduction layer region. The top mirror is essentially undoped and formed in a mesa structure. An oxide is formed around the mesa structure to protect the top mirror during wet oxidation processes.

    摘要: An optical device for improving conduction and reflectivity and minimizing absorption. The optical device includes a first mirror comprising a first plurality of mirror periods designed to reflect an optical field at a predetermined wavelength, where the optical field has peaks and nulls. Each of the plurality of mirror periods includes a first layer of having a high carrier mobility, a second layer having lower carrier mobility, and a first compositional ramp between the first and second layers. The thicknesses of the first and second layers for at least a portion of the first plurality of mirror periods are established such that the nulls of the optical field occur within the first layer and not within the compositional ramp. At least the portion of the first layers within the first plurality of mirror periods include elevated doping concentrations at locations of the nulls of the optical field.

    摘要: Semiconductor devices such as VCSELs, SELs, LEDs, and HBTs are manufactured to have a wide bandgap material near a narrow bandgap material. Electron injection is improved by an intermediate structure positioned between the wide bandgap material and the narrow bandgap material. The intermediate structure is an inflection, such as a plateau, in the ramping of the composition between the wide bandgap material and the narrow bandgap material. The intermediate structure is highly doped and has a composition with a desired low electron affinity. The injection structure can be used on the p-side of a device with a p-doped intermediate structure at high hole affinity.
