    摘要: A vertical cavity laser includes an optical cavity adjacent to a first mirror, the optical cavity having a semiconductor portion and a dielectric spacer layer. A dielectric DBR is deposited adjacent to the dielectric spacer layer. The interface between the semiconductor portion of the optical cavity and the dielectric spacer layer is advantageously located at or near a null in the optical standing wave intensity pattern of the vertical cavity laser to reduce the losses or scattering associated with that interface.

    摘要: An optically bistable device, such as a symmetric self electro-optic effect device (S-SEED), is forced into a metastable state prior to the incidence of an optical input signal thereto, thereby increasing the sensitivity of the optically bistable device to the optical input signal, reducing both the switching time and the optical input signal energy required to switch the device. The metastable state is entered into by one of three techniques: (1) turning off the bias voltage V.sub.0 of the device with optical bias beams on then turning on the bias voltage V.sub.0 with the optical bias beams off; (2) applying a predetermined voltage to a node in the device, the predetermined voltage being substantially the metastable state voltage or V.sub.0 /2; or (3) subjecting the device to equal intensity optical bias beams having a wavelength longer than the exciton wavelength. In the second case, optical bias beams and optical input signal beams may be applied simultaneously with the application of the predetermined voltage. In the last case, optical bias beams (at the exciton wavelength) and the optical input signal beams can be applied simultaneously after removal of the long-wavelength optical bias beams, thus saving switching time. In addition, the optically bistable device may be selectively placed in the metastable state and the optical input signal have sufficient energy to switch the device only when it is in the metastable state. This allows for multiple optically bistable devices to be selectively responsive to a common optical input signal, such as in a demultiplexer.

    摘要: The present invention provides an improved mesa vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL), in which a first distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) mesa of semiconductor material is disposed on a top surface of an active layer. A contact annulus is disposed on a contact region of a top surface of the first DBR mesa, such that an inner circumference of the contact annulus defines a window region of the top surface of the first DBR mesa. A second DBR mesa of dielectric material is disposed on the window region. Whereas the first DBR mesa has a first reflectance at a lasing wavelength that is insufficient to sustain lasing in the active layer, the first DBR mesa and the second DBR mesa together have a total reflectance at the lasing wavelength that is sufficient to sustain lasing in the active layer under the window region.

    摘要: An optical receiver, e.g., receiver 10 (FIG. 1), has differential optical input beams and generates an electrical output. The voltage at an electrical node between series-connected optical detector diodes is clamped within a predefined voltage range by series-connected clamping diodes, to prevent the voltage from increasing when consecutive logic one optical input beams are received. Variable bandwidth and low energy dissipation are achieved since the resistors of high input impedance and transimpedance receivers are not required. A second optical receiver, e.g., receiver 20 (FIG. 2) is a monolithic, diode-clamped S-SEED with complementary optical input beams and complementary optical output beams.
