    摘要: In a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) with an active region, and first and second mirror stacks forming a resonant cavity, the VCSEL having a radial electrode configuration with a first electrode disposed around the base of the first mirror stack near one side of the active region, a second electrode on the other side of the active region with a first contacting region and a second contacting region on each side of the active region in contact with the respective electrodes, each of the contacting regions providing a current path for distributed current through the active region, the improvement wherein there is a nonlinear grading of resistivity in at least one of the contacting regions between at least one of the electrodes and the active region. Specifically, in one embodiment, the first contacting region has a first layered section abutting the first electrode which is highly conductive to radial current flow and at least a second layered section between the first layered section and the active region which is more resistive to axial current flow than to radial current flow in the first layered section. In a further embodiment, one of the two contacting regions includes a layered section which is radially graded in resistivity so as to restrict the current injection to a radius less than that of the resonant cavity, thereby improving device efficiency and preferentially supporting single mode operation.

    摘要: Improvement in the temperature stability of a pair of resonator filters (70 and 71) disposed on an acoustic medium (39), which resonators are coupled by a first coupler means (500), is achieved by providing a second coupler means (501) for coupling between the resonator filters. The second coupler means is chosen so that acoustic interferences between waves propagating in the first and second coupling means compensates for the temperature variation in the propagation velocities of surface waves in different directions on the acoustic medium. The phase provided between second coupler means must be in near quadrature to the phase provided by the first coupler means.In an embodiment constructed according to the present invention which utilizes parallel electromechanical (600) and folded acoustical intercavity couplers (72) to provide the necessary pair of different temperature coefficient paths, the restriction that the phases be in near quadrature provides nearly flat phase versus temperature characteristics over several tens of degrees centigrade.

    摘要: The successful application of the reactive ion etching technique to the III-V compounds requires the use of the appropriate etch gas. We have found that a gas mixture of chlorine (Cl.sub.2) and Oxygen (O.sub.2) will cleanly and effectively etch heated substrates of GaAs and InP and their ternary and quaternary alloys. The etch rate is increased by heating the substrate to a temperature of 100.degree. to 400.degree. C.

    摘要: A controller for use with sampled grating distributed Bragg reflector (SGDBR) lasers is presented. An exemplary controller includes a table of settings representing a control surface, each setting corresponding to a separate operating point of the SGDBR laser, a first mirror current controller and a second mirror current controller. The first mirror controller and the second mirror current controller respectively control a first mirror current and a second mirror current about an estimated extremum point of the control surface to substantially maintain alignment between each of a first mirror and a second mirror, and an associated cavity mode. The first mirror current and the second mirror current can be locked at a substantially fixed distance from the extremum of the control surface.
