Abstract: A solid-state device, and use and formation thereof. The device includes a light emitter (102) that emits light with abeam propagation direction and includes an emitter epitaxial layer stack (940); a light routing medium (103) in optical communication with the light emitter; and a light detector (104) in optical communication with the light routing medium, which detects light emitted by the light emitter and includes a detector epitaxial stack (945). The light emitter and detector are monolithically formed on a semiconductor substrate. The emitter and detector epitaxial layer stacks include different pluralities of layers of a single epitaxial layer stack. The beam propagation direction is either in-plane with the single epitaxial layer stack and the light detector detects light out of plane with the single epitaxial layer stack, or out of plane with the single epitaxial layer stack and the light detector detects light in plane with the single epitaxial layer stack.

Abstract: A spectroscopic laser sensor based on hybrid III-V/IV system-on-a-chip technology. The laser sensor is configured to either (i) be used with a fiber-optic probe connected to an intravenous/intra-arterial optical catheter for direct invasive blood analyte concentration level measurement or (ii) be used to measure blood analyte concentration level non-invasively through an optical interface attached, e.g., to the skin or fingernail bed of a human. The sensor includes a III-V gain-chip, e.g., an AIGalnAsSb/GaSb based gain-chip, and a photonic integrated circuit, with laser wavelength filtering, laser wavelength tuning, laser wavelength monitoring, laser signal monitoring and signal output sections realized on a chip by combining IV-based semiconductor substrates and flip-chip AIGal-nAsSb/GaSb based photodetectors and embedded electronics for signal processing. Embodiments of the invention may be applied for real-time monitoring of critical blood analyte concentration levels such as lactates, urea, glucose, ammonia, albumin, etc.

Abstract: Methods for wavelength determination of widely tunable lasers and systems thereof may be implemented with solid-state laser based photonic systems based on photonic integrated circuit technology as well as discrete table top systems such as widely-tunable external cavity lasers and systems. The methods allow integrated wavelength control enabling immediate system wavelength calibration without the need for external wavelength monitoring instruments. Wavelength determination is achieved using a monolithic solid-state based optical cavity with a well-defined transmission or reflection function acting as a wavelength etalon. The solid-state etalon may be used with a wavelength shift tracking component, e.g., a non-balanced interferometer, to calibrate the entire laser emission tuning curve within one wavelength sweep. The method is particularly useful for integrated photonic systems based on Vernier-filter mechanism where the starting wavelength is not known a-priori, or for compact widely tunable external cavity lasers eliminating the need for calibration of wavelength via external instruments.

Abstract: Solid-state optical devices (10) enable tuning of an electrically tunable depletion region (200) to reduce and block lateral (in-junction) carrier spreading. This capability reduces the negative effects of gain-guiding in the junction plane and reduces an astigmatism of an emitted light beam. The tunable depletion region is created by forming a highly resistive Schottky contact (105, 110) or metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structure (205, 210) next to a waveguide (optical mode propagation) and current injection region (215), where lateral spread due to diffusion is expected. The depletion region area is tuned by applying a bias to the highly resistive Schottky contact or the MIS contact structure. Such contacts or similar lossy structures reduce in-junction plane gain-guiding also when unbiased by creating additional optical loss for the mode, thus reducing the effective carrier density participating in light generation, thereby reducing astigmatism.
