    Abstract: The invention is a method for designing semiconductor light emitting devices such that the side surfaces (surfaces not parallel to the epitaxial layers) are formed at preferred angles relative to vertical (normal to the plane of the light-emitting active layer) to improve light extraction efficiency and increase total light output efficiency. Device designs are chosen to improve efficiency without resorting to excessive active area-yield loss due to shaping. As such, these designs are suitable for low-cost, high-volume manufacturing of semiconductor light-emitting devices with improved characteristics.

    Abstract: Light emitting diodes with highly reflective contacts and methods for fabricating them are described. In a first preferred embodiment of the present invention, LEDs with reflective contacts are formed using a laser to create small alloyed dots in a highly reflective metal evaporated on the top and bottom surface of the LED chip. Using this technique, most of the bottom surface remains highly reflective, and only those portions of the bottom surface where the laser struck become absorbing. Typically, only 1% of the bottom surface is formed into contacts, leaving 99% of the bottom surface to serve as a reflecting surface. The 1% of the surface, however, provides an adequate low resistance ohmic contact. LEDs fabricated with this technique allow photons to bounce off the rear surface more than 20 times before there is a 50% chance of absorption. In a second embodiment of the present invention, an application of compound semiconductor wafer bonding techniques permits the fabrication of LEDs with a plurality of these small, micro-alloyed contacts without the use of a laser.

    Abstract: A coolerless photonic integrated circuit (PIC), such as a semiconductor electro-absorption modulator/laser (EML) or a coolerless optical transmitter photonic integrated circuit (TxPIC), may be operated over a wide temperature range at temperatures higher then room temperature without the need for ambient cooling or hermetic packaging. Since there is large scale integration of N optical transmission signal WDM channels on a TxPIC chip, a new DWDM system approach with novel sensing schemes and adaptive algorithms provides intelligent control of the PIC to optimize its performance and to allow optical transmitter and receiver modules in DWDM systems to operate uncooled. Moreover, the wavelength grid of the on-chip channel laser sources may thermally float within a WDM wavelength band where the individual emission wavelengths of the laser sources are not fixed to wavelength peaks along a standardized wavelength grid but rather may move about with changes in ambient temperature. However, control is maintained such that the channel spectral spacing between channels across multiple signal channels, whether such spacing is periodic or aperiodic, between adjacent laser sources in the thermally floating wavelength grid are maintained in a fixed relationship. Means are then provided at an optical receiver to discover and lock onto floating wavelength grid of transmitted WDM signals and thereafter demultiplex the transmitted WDM signals for OE conversion.
