An ultra-high-speed photoconductive device is described which comprises a homoepitaxial semi-insulating III-V layer, or body, upon which ohmic/conductive contacts, or strips, separated by a small gap, are formed. The semi-insulating body, or layer, is produced by low temperature growth of III-V compounds by MBE. In a GaAs embodiment, the layer is grown under arsenic stable growth conditions, at a substrate temperature preferably in the range of 150.degree. to about 300.degree. C.

The disclosed light emitting semiconductor device has an n-type (or p-type) base region sandwiched by a p-type (or n-type) emitter region and a p-type (or n-type) collector region. An injecting voltage source is connected across the emittter region and base region so as to apply a constant voltage therebetween, while a control voltage source is connected across the emitter region and the collector region so as to selectively apply a reverse bias to a base-collector junction for controlling recombination of carriers injected to the base region. The control voltage source produces such non-emitting period voltage and emitting period voltage that carriers injected during the non-emitting period voltage are captured in the base region while the carriers thus captured are allowed to recombine during the emitting period voltage.

A laser diode in accordance with the present invention comprises: a substrate (11) of p-GaAs; a current constricting layer (12) of n-GaAs formed with a slit (13) over the substrate, wherein the slit is opened through the constricting layer and separates the constricting layer into two areas; a liner(s) (21) of p-GaAs formed on at least both the inner side walls of the slit; a lower clad layer (14) of p-Ga.sub.0.6 Al.sub.0.4 As formed over the constricting layer, burying the slit; an active layer (15) of p-Ga.sub.0.9 Al.sub.0.1 As which is formed over the lower clad layer and has a refractive index higher than that of the lower clad layer; and an upper clad layer of n-Ga.sub.0.6 Al.sub.0.4 As which is formed over the active layer and has a refractive index lower than that of the active layer.
摘要:
Described is a method for fabricating a stripe geometry double heterostructure (DH) junction laser in which lateral current confinement is acheived by pairs of laterally spaced, reverse-biased p-n junctions. A mesa is formed on an n-GaAs substrate, for example, and a layer of p-AlGaAs is then grown by LPE so that nucleation does not occur on the top of the mesa. Laterally spaced zones of p-AlGaAs are thus formed on either side of the mesa. An n-p-p or n-n-p DH is then grown so that the interface between the p-AlGaAs layers and the first n-layer of the DH forms a pair of laterally spaced p-n junctions separated by the mesa. When the light-emitting p-n junction in the DH active region is forward biased, the air of spaced junctions are reverse biased so that pumping current is constrained to flow through the active region in a narrow channel to the mesa. Further lateral current confinement is achieved by forming on the upper DH surface a second air of reverse biased p-n junctions separated by a window in alignment with the mesa.

摘要:
The invention relates to bi-directional long-cavity semiconductor lasers for high power applications having two AR coated facets (2AR) to provide an un-folded cavity with enhanced output power. The lasers exhibit more uniform photon and carrier density distributions along the cavity than conventional uni-directional high-power lasers, enabling longer lasers with greater output power and lasing efficiency due to reduced longitudinal hole burning. Optical sources are further provided wherein radiation from both facets of several 2AR lasers that are disposed at vertically offset levels is combined into a single composite beam.
