    摘要: A dc-coupled packet mode digital data receiver, for use with an optical bus uses peak detectors to adaptively establish an instantaneous logic threshold at the beginning of a data burst. A dc compensator, responsive to outputs of the peak detectors, shunts dc or low frequency currents, corresponding to "dark level" optical signals, from the input of the receiver.

    摘要: A dc-coupled packet mode digital data receiver, for use with an optical bus, uses a peak detector(s) to adaptively establish an instantaneous logic threshold at the beginning of a data burst. A reset circuit resets the peak detector(s) and other circuits of the receiver in response to an end-of-packet reset signal, thereby enabling the reception of closely-spaced burst date packets which have greatly differing power levels.

    摘要: A high data rate multiplexer (MUX) architecture includes front-end and rear-end MUXs clocked at a system clock rate equal to one-half of the MUX output data rate. The front-end MUX selects inputs under control of select signals derived from multiple phases of a select clock. The select clock is derived from the system clock. The number of select signals is equal to the multiplexing factor of the MUX.

    摘要: A substrate heating arrangement suitable for use in ultra-high vacuum MBE includes a filament responsive to a DC current for generating thermal energy, a metallic enclosure surrounding the filament and having an aperture at one end thereof, an intermediate semiconductor substrate parallel to and separated from a semiconductor growth substrate, and a substrate support mounted to the enclosure capable of holding the substrates in the prescribed relationship.The intermediate semiconductor substrate regulates the temperature on the surface of the semiconductor growth substrate to be less than or equal to a fixed temperature (approximately 1100.degree. C. for silicon) regardless of the DC current applied to the filament.

    摘要: The novel technique for stabilizing an electronic device, e.g., a semiconductor laser, is disclosed. The technique can advantageously be used to stabilize the bias current of such a laser at or near the lasing threshold of the device. A preferred application of thus stabilized lasers is in optical communication systems. The inventive technique comprises determination of a derivative of a variable characteristic of the device operation, e.g., the voltage across a laser, with respect to a parameter, e.g., the laser bias current. The derivative is determined by a novel method. For the particular case of laser bias stabilization, the method comprises injecting one or more nonsinusoidal ac current components into the laser, and phase-sensitivity detecting the voltage changes at the ac frequencies. The method can, in principle, be used to determine derivatives of arbitrarily high order. A circuit capable of determining the second, third and fourth derivatives of the voltage as a function of bias current is disclosed. The derivative extraction method can also be embodied in measurement apparatus, and as useful in other process control applications.

    摘要: A process for fabricating a high speed bipolar transistor is described wherein the collector, base and emitter layers are first grown using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). A mesa etch is performed to isolate a base-emitter region, and a contact layer is grown using MBE over this isolated region to make contact with the thin base layer. The contact layer is selectively etched to expose the emitter layer, and metal is deposited to fabricate emitter, base and collector contacts.

    摘要: A plurality of semiconductor lasers (431-434) and a photodetector (120) are mounted on a silicon substrate (100) having an integrated circuit (101) fabricated therein. The integrated circuit includes a biasing circuit (405) for establishing a threshold current level that is dependent on the output of the photodetector and a modulator circuit (404) for providing a modulation current that is dependent on the digital values in an input signal. A semiconductor switch (406) selects only one of the plurality of semiconductor lasers for activation by the biasing and modulator circuits. The integrated circuit also includes a circuit (408) that operates the semiconductor switch so as to selectively activate a different one of the plurality of semiconductor lasers in response to either a predetermined output from said photodetector or in response to an external supervisory signal.
