摘要： A laser emitting apparatus includes an incoherent light-emitting device having a light-emitting layer wherein an electric field is applied across the light-emitting layer to produce light which is transmitted out of the incoherent light-emitting device and a vertical laser cavity structure disposed to receive light transmitted from the incoherent light-emitting device and produce laser light.

摘要： An organic light-emitting diode includes a transparent substrate, a transparent anode layer disposed over the substrate, and a hole-transport layer disposed over the anode layer. The diode also includes a light-emitting layer disposed over the hole-transport layer, an electron-transport layer disposed over the light-emitting layer, a cathode disposed over the electron-transport layer and having a thickness selected so that light can pass through such cathode, and a light-absorbing layer disposed over the cathode. A dielectric spacer layer disposed over the light-absorbing layer and a conductive layer disposed over the spacer layer and electrically connected to the cathode so that when a voltage is applied between the transparent anode and the cathode, the light-emitting layer produces light which passes directly through the hole-transport layer and the transparent anode and substrate.

摘要： The present invention relates to a laser diode which comprises a substantially rectangular body of a semiconductor material on the surface of a semiconductor substrate. The body has a pair of opposed end surfaces and side surfaces extending between the end surfaces. The body comprises a multiple quantum well active layer between cladding layers. An electrically insulating (separation) region extends through one of the cladding layers and through the active region to divide the body into a laser diode in which light is generated in the active layer by the recombination of oppositely charged carriers, and an absorber which can shift the generated light between the TE and TM modes when a small voltage is applied thereacross. A capping layer of an insulating semiconductor material is over the outermost cladding layer and conductive regions extend through the capping layer to the cladding layer in each of the laser diode and the absorber.

摘要： The present invention relates to an optoelectronic integrated circuit which includes a body of a group III-V semiconductor material containing a laser diode, a photodiode and/or field effect transistors. The body includes isolation regions extending partially therethrough which electrically isolate the laser diode from the photodiode and the field effect transistors. However, the isolation regions are at least partially transparent to light so as to allow some of the light generated by the laser diode to reach the photodiode. The laser diode, photodiode and/or field effect transistors are electrically connected by conductive patterns on the body so as to form a desired circuit for controlling the laser diode. The body defines a laser diode having a multiple quantum well active layer sandwiched between two cladding layers. The photodiode may also be formed by the active layer and cladding layers or can be formed by filling a trench in the body with a semiconductor material. The field effect transistor is formed in an insulated cap layer of undoped gallium arsenide on one of the cladding layers.
