Abstract:
An apparatus includes at least one multijunction diode laser situated to emit a plurality of beams along respective mutually parallel propagation axes, each beam having an associated mutually parallel slow axes and associated collinear fast axes, a fast axis collimator situated to receive and collimate the plurality of beams along the corresponding fast axes so as to produce corresponding fast axis collimated beams that propagate along associated non-parallel axes, and a reflector situated to receive the plurality of fast axis collimated beams and to reflect the beams so that the reflected fast axis collimated beams propagate along substantially parallel axes.
Abstract:
A laser diode arrangement having at least one semiconductor substrate, having at least two laser stacks each having an active zone and having at least one intermediate layer. The laser stacks and the intermediate layer are grown monolithically on the semiconductor substrate. The intermediate layer is arranged between the laser stacks. The active zone of the first laser stack can be actuated separately from the active zone of the at least one further laser stack.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for producing dynamic range increase (DRI) or a high dynamic range (HDR) pictures, in which differently exposed individual images are combined by image processing to form an HDR or DRI picture. In order to also allow moving objects to be recorded more easily, and to overcome the restrictions relating to lack of mobility of a recording device, the exposure can be carried out by laser radiation containing wavelengths at different intensities.
Abstract:
Emissive quantum photonic imagers comprised of a spatial array of digitally addressable multicolor pixels. Each pixel is a vertical stack of multiple semiconductor laser diodes, each of which can generate laser light of a different color. Within each multicolor pixel, the light generated from the stack of diodes is emitted perpendicular to the plane of the imager device via a plurality of vertical waveguides that are coupled to the optical confinement regions of each of the multiple laser diodes comprising the imager device. Each of the laser diodes comprising a single pixel is individually addressable, enabling each pixel to simultaneously emit any combination of the colors associated with the laser diodes at any required on/off duty cycle for each color. Each individual multicolor pixel can simultaneously emit the required colors and brightness values by controlling the on/off duty cycles of their respective laser diodes.

Abstract:
A monolithic red/infrared semiconductor laser device is joined to a blue-violet semiconductor laser device. The distance between a blue-violet emission point in the blue-violet semiconductor laser device and an infrared emission point in an infrared semiconductor laser device is significantly shorter than the distance between a red emission point in a red semiconductor laser device and the infrared emission point. A blue-violet laser beam, a red laser beam, and an infrared laser beam respectively emitted from the blue-violet emission point, the red emission point, and the infrared emission point are introduced into a photodetector after being incident on an optical disk by an optical system comprising a polarizing beam splitter, a collimator lens, a beam expander, a λ/4 plate, an objective lens, a cylindrical lens, and an optical axis correction element.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a radiation-emitting component (1) in which a field distribution of a near field (101, 201) in a direction perpendicular to a main emission axis of the component is specified. From the field distribution of the near field, an index of refraction profile (111, 211, 511) along this direction is determined. A structure is determined for the component such that the component will have the previously determined index of refraction profile. The component is constructed according to the previously determined structure. A radiation-emitting component is also disclosed.

A first semiconductor laser element is formed on a surface of the first substrate and including a first active layer. A second semiconductor laser element is bonded to the first semiconductor laser element with a first insulating film interposed therebetween. A first electrode is connected to the first semiconductor laser element. A second electrode is arranged on the surface of the first semiconductor laser element with the first insulating film interposed therebetween and connected to the second semiconductor laser element. The first semiconductor laser element has an optical waveguide formed in a region where the second semiconductor laser element is not bonded while the first electrode is arranged on the region, and the second electrode is formed to extend from between the second semiconductor laser element and first insulating film toward the region.

An optoelectronic component (1) is specified, comprising a semiconductor body (2) with a semiconductor layer sequence. The semiconductor layer sequence of the semiconductor body (2) comprises a pump region (3) provided for generating a pump radiation and an emission region (4) provided for generating an emission radiation. The emission region (4) and the pump region (3) are arranged one above the other. The pump radiation optically pumps the emission region (4) during operation of the optoelectronic component (1). The emission radiation emerges from the semiconductor body (2) with the semiconductor layer sequence in a lateral direction during operation of the optoelectronic component (1).
