Abstract:
Provided are a photonic-crystal plate that forms an optical waveguide and an optical device assembly using the same, and more particularly, a vertical-type photonic-crystal plate and an optical device assembly configured to be easily integrated with surface-emitting light source devices and surface-receiving light detector devices. The photonic-crystal plate includes a plurality of cylindrical through holes formed in a thickness direction and arranged in a periodic crystal lattice structure. The plate further includes: a main crystal lattice defect that forms a main optical waveguide for passing lights in a direction perpendicular to the photonic-crystal plate; and a sub-crystal lattice defect that forms a sub-optical waveguide for causing light in a specific wavelength band among the lights passing through the main optical waveguide to be optically coupled and passing the coupled light in the direction perpendicular to the photonic-crystal plate.
Abstract:
Provided is a method of fabricating a vertical cavity surface emitting laser among semiconductor optical devices, comprising: bonding a dielectric mirror layer to an epi-structure having a mirror layer and an active layer; bonding these on a new substrate using a metal bonded method; removing the existing substrate; and fabricating a vertical cavity surface emitting laser on the new substrate. The method of fabricating the vertical cavity surface emitting laser is performed by moving and attaching a vertical cavity surface emitting laser to a new substrate using an external metallic bonding method, without electrically and optically affecting upper and lower mirrors and an active layer that constitutes the vertical cavity surface emitting laser. While using the existing method of fabricating the vertical cavity surface emitting laser, the VCSEL is fabricated by moving to a new substrate having good thermal characteristics so that good heat emission characteristics are accomplished, thus facilitating manufacture of the vertical cavity surface emitting laser having high reliability and good characteristics.

Abstract:
Provided is a method for fabricating a semiconductor optical device that can be used as a reflecting semiconductor mirror or an optical filter, in which two or more types of semiconductor layers having different etch rates are alternately stacked, at least one type of semiconductor layers is selectively etched to form an air-gap structure, and an oxide or a nitride having a good heat transfer property is deposited so that the air gap is buried, whereby it is possible to effectively implement the semiconductor reflector or the optical filter having a high reflectance in a small period because of the large index contrast between the oxide or the nitride buried in the air gap and the semiconductor layer.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a portable digital reader for reading an analysis target chip including a plurality of test areas. The reader comprises: a light emitting section having light emitting elements for radiating light; an integral optical splitter for uniformly distributing the light from the light emitting section to each test area of the analysis target chip; a light receiving section for receiving light reflected from each test area so as to convert the same into electric signals; and a measuring section for measuring concentration according to the electric signals obtained from the light receiving section. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the generation of errors in signal measurement due to optical distribution failure by assembling branch sections of the optical splitter under the control of the number of the branch sections according to the number of test items in a test strip.
