    摘要: The invention relates to an apparatus including a semiconductor grating whose optical properties can be changed electrically in order to steer a diffracted laser beam with no moving parts. Lithographically defined portions, stripes or areas formed in a semiconductor quantum well region used in association with selectable voltage supply means enable control of the optical characteristics of the grating. The optical properties of the semiconductor quantum well region vary in response to variations in voltage applied to the areas which in turn change the transmissivity or reflectivity of the areas. By selectively applying voltages, the diffraction pattern obtained in the far-field from illuminating the areas is thus controlled and beam steering results. By using a two-dimensional array of areas, or alternatively using two such one dimensional arrays, beam steering in two dimensions may be accomplished. Using a Fabry-Perot cavity allows large reflectivity changes to occur from the absorption changes, and another external Fabry-Perot cavity increases the optical power steered into the diffracted modes. Electronically addressing a large number of areas can be achieved using a number of standard methods.

    摘要: A charge coupled device has a semi-insulating semiconductor for a substrate. Resistivity of the semiconductor is at least 10.sup.6 ohm cm. A semi-conductive layer is grown epitaxially or is implanted on the substrate to form a thin, active, charge transport layer. A row of parallel, closely spaced gates on the charge transport layer provides individual storage wells in the charge transport layer. In a preferred embodiment, ohmic contacts adjacent the first and last gates in the row of gates provide a means for injecting a signal into the charge transport layer and a means for detecting the signal. Preferably, the substrate is semi-insulating GaAs and the gates are Schottky barrier gates.

    摘要: An optical imaging system having an optical source located between the object being imaged and the sensor is provided. Such positioning of the source enables provision of compact optical imaging systems. In particular, such systems can have image widths significantly larger than the object to sensor separation. The arrangement of source, imaging assembly and sensor is such that an image of the source is not formed at the sensor. Therefore, the effect of this source positioning on the image of the object at the sensor is a reduction of intensity, as opposed to more objectionable imaging artifacts, such as spurious shadows and/or bright spots. Thus compact optical imaging systems having good image quality are provided, which enables high-fidelity imaging of object to sensor for a wide variety of applications.

    摘要: A high-speed, light emitting device which utilizes a solid state source for generating light for use in fiber optical communications. The source is an active, narrow band gap layer of semiconductive material between heterojunctions formed with a p.sup.+ -type material on one side of an n.sup.+ -type material on the other side. A mirror on the back of the source reflects light toward an optical fiber abutting the substrate on the front of the source. A side mirror traverses the edge of the active layer at an angle of about 45.degree. and reflects light traveling parallel to the active layer toward the optical fiber. Contacts are coupled to the semiconductor material for applying an electrical signal across the active layer to generate light. In a preferred embodiment, the active layer is GaAsSb joined to GaAlAsSb and the substrate is GaAs.

    摘要: Growth of SiGe on a significantly lattice mismatched substrate (e.g., Si) is provided by depositing a SiGe buffer layer at a growth temperature, then annealing the resulting structure at a temperature higher than the growth temperature. Additional buffer layers can be included following the same steps. The SiGe buffer is significantly lattice mismatched with respect to the substrate, and is preferably substantially lattice matched with a SiGe device to be grown on top of the buffer. The resulting buffer structure is relatively thin and provides low defect density, and low surface roughness. Disadvantages of thick graded buffer layers, such as high cost, high surface roughness, mechanical fragility, and CTE mismatch, are thereby avoided.
