摘要:
Disclosed is an optical semiconductor device which has a quantum well structure comprising a quantum well made of a zinc oxide or a zinc oxide mixed crystal thin film, and utilizes optical transition between subbands in the quantum well structure. An element of this device can be formed as a film on a transparent substrate or a plastic substrate at a temperature of 200° C. or lower. The quatum well structure includes a barrier layer made of an insulating material such as ZnMgO; a homologous compound expressed by the following general formula: RMO3(AO)m, wherein R=Sc or In, M=Fe, Cr, Ga or Al, A=Zn, Mg, Cu, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni or Cd, and m=a natural number; or (Li, Na)(Ga, Al)O2. The optical semiconductor device is capable of using a transparent or plastic substrate as its substrate, and achieving a high-efficient wide-band light-emitting or receiving device and an ultrafast optical moderation or switching applicable to an optical communication system requiring one terabit/sec or more of data transmission speed.
摘要:
A spin filter is composed of a first magnetic semiconductor multi-quantum well structure, a second magnetic semiconductor multi-quantum well structure and a non-magnetic semiconductor quantum well structure which is located between the first magnetic semiconductor multi-quantum well structure and the second magnetic semiconductor multi-quantum well structure. The first magnetic semiconductor multi-quantum well structure and the second magnetic semiconductor multi-quantum well structure are split in spin state. Carriers in down-spin state are penetrated through the first magnetic semiconductor multi-quantum well structure and carriers in up-spin state are penetrated through the second magnetic semiconductor multi-quantum well structure.
摘要:
In a high voltage or current detector of the type utilizing an insulating tube, polarized light is directed to a photoelectric element mounted on the upper end or contained in the insulating tube so as to modulate the polarized light in accordance with the voltage or current to be measured. The modulated light is directed to a photosensitive element on the lower end of the tube for producing an electric signal which is applied to a meter for displaying the voltage or current.
