    摘要: Apparatus and method for producing coherent blue-green-light radiation having a wavelength of essentially 490-500 nm. A diode laser, such as a strained-layer InGaAs/GaAs diode laser, provides a 980-1,000 nm beam, and a nonlinear crystal of KTP produces coherent radiation by noncritically phase-matched second-harmonic generation (SHG) of said beam. The beam preferably has a wavelength of essentially 994 nm for generating radiation having a wavelength of essentially 497 nm. The crystal is disposed within an optical resonator and the frequency of the laser is locked to that of the resonator. Alternatively, two diode lasers are oriented to provide orthogonally polarized beams each with a wavelength of 980-1,000 nm but within essentially 1 nm of each other, and the KTP crystal is oriented with its a- and c-axis parallel to the orthogonally polarized beams. The KTP crystal may have an associated optical waveguide along which the beam is propagated to enhance SHG efficiency.

    摘要: A planar, topology free, semiconductor quantum-well laser is described. The quantum-well active layer is formed and patterned in a specified region which is constrained on all sides by high bandgaps which are formed through the use of impurity-free diffusion techniques. After the impurity-free diffusion has taken place, an upper portion is then epitaxially deposited to complete the structure. High-power, single fundamental mode laser operation is achieved by funneling current into the constrained quantum-well active region, high bandgap regions in conjunction with low index of refraction in regions surrounding the active area. The structure is further designed to allow low beam divergence in the direction perpendicular to the semiconductor laser junction.

    摘要: A semiconductor ridge waveguide laser having a high value of horizontal far-field wherein the laser structure includes a substrate, a first or lower cladding layer composed of a AlGaAs on the substrate, an acting layer on the lower cladding layer, and a second or upper cladding layer composed of AlGaAs on the active layer. The upper cladding layer includes a raised ridge portion formed by etching the upper cladding layer through a mask. A contact layer is disposed on top of the ridge portion. The aluminum mole concentration of the lower cladding layer is greater than the aluminum mole concentration of the upper cladding layer. This forces the optical mode towards the upper cladding layer and results in an increased lateral waveguide confinement that produces a high horizontal far-field.

    摘要: A method for cleaving semiconductor wafers, or segments thereof, which comprises placing the wafer, provided with scribe lines defining the planes where cleaving is to take place, inbetween a pair of flexible transport bands and guiding it around a curved, large radius surface thereby applying a bending moment. With a moment of sufficient magnitude, individual bars are broken off the wafer as this is advanced, the bars having front-and rear-end facets. On cleaving, each bar, while still pressed against the curved surface, is automatically separated whereby mutual damage of the facets of neighboring bars is prevented. For further handling, e.g. for the transport of the bars to an evaporation station for passivation layer deposition, provisions are made to keep the bars separated. Cleaving and the subsequent passivation coating can be carried out in-situ in a vacuum system to prevent facet contamination prior to applying the passivation.

    摘要: The waveguide comprises a transparent body having a very sharp point at one end and being coated with a first opaque layer, such as metal. The first opaque layer carries a layer of an optically transparent material which is covered, in turn, by a second opaque layer. The apex of the point has been removed so as to expose the transparent body through a first aperture and to expose the transparent layer through a second aperture, the first aperture occupying an area of less than 0.01 .mu.m.sup.2.Light enters the transparent body at its remote end and exits through the first aperture to illuminate an object. Reflected light from the object enters the transparent layer through the second aperture and is guided to a light detector for further processing.

    摘要: The transistor comprises two electrodes, (source (22) and drain (23), with a semiconductor tunnel channel (21A, 21B) arranged therebetween. A gate (24) for applying control signals is coupled to the channel. The semiconductor channel consists of a plurality of regions differing in their current transfer characteristics: contact regions (21c), connected to the source and drain electrodes, and a tunneling region (21t) arranged between the contact regions. The energy of free carriers in the contact regions differs from the energy of the conduction band or the valence band of the tunneling region which forms a low energy tunnel barrier the height (.DELTA.E) of which can be modified by control signals applied to the gate. The operating temperature of the device is kept sufficiently low to have the tunnel current through the barrier outweigh currents of thermionically excited carriers.
