    摘要: A low coherence light emitting device comprises a semiconductor body with pair of opposed end faces. The device contains a current confining structure which forms an effective optical beam path between the end faces. The current confining structure is inclined at an angle relative to the direction perpendicular to at least one of the end faces. The tangent of this angle is greater than or equal to the effective optical beam path divided by the length of the body between the end faces. The structure thereby forms a device in which off-axis reflection is obtained at at least one of the device's end faces.

    摘要: Piezoelectric video disc recording cutterheads have small and intricate geometries that make it difficult to compute or measure their mechanical characteristics, especially during the recording process. A monitoring circuit, for use during recording, for monitoring and measuring the mechanical characteristics of a recording cutterhead takes the form of a bridge network. The motional charge or motional current, which are related to the mechanical characteristics of the cutterhead, is measured by means of the bridge network. One branch of the bridge is arranged to include the piezoelectric cutterhead, the other branch comprises a variable capacitor which is adjusted to compensate for the shunt capacitance of the equivalent electrical circuit of the cutterhead. When the variable capacitance is properly adjusted the combination of the currents through the bridge network provides a signal representative of the displacement characteristics of the cutterhead.

    摘要: A superluminescent diode having emission layers which emit different wavelengths of light disposed side-by-side whereby light emitting in a first direction from an emission layer having a longer wavelength than an adjacent layer in the first direction is not absorbed. Thus, light of the different wavelengths is represented in an output spectra in the first direction at a point beyond the adjacent layer. A semiconductor optical amplifier is formed by creating a symmetrical structure in which the longest wavelength material is grown in the center and the shortest wavelength material is grown near the facets.

    摘要: A wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) is used to transmit the output light from a superluminescent diode (SLD) over a band approximately equal to the full width half maximum (FWHM) SLD bandwidth and its output serves as an IFOG light source. The residual (uncoupled) spectrum contains two sidelobes, which are then separated by another WDM into a lower half centered around .lambda..sub.1 and an upper half centered around .lambda..sub.2. These sidelobes are detected and fed to a differential amplifier whose output is an error signal which is used in a feedback loop to control the SLD drive current or the drive current of a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) on which the SLD is mounted, both of which affect the SLD spectrum. The same results are achieved using the back output light of the SLD chip. An optical amplifier is also implemented by providing access to the front and rear faces of the SLD and splitting off a small portion of the light from one of the facets for the automatic adjustment.

    摘要: There is provided a super luminescent light emitting device comprising a semiconductor body including a central region and two opposing end regions extending a predetermined distance from the end faces. A gain guiding linear strip of material adjacent to a side of the active region extends between the end faces and is inclined along its longitudinal axis at a predetermined angle relative to a direction normal to at least one of the end faces. An optical beam path of the device has an optical axis of symmetry extending between the end faces parallel to the longitudinal axis of the strip. The beam path has end lateral boundaries at each of the end regions whose lateral carrier and optical confinement is determined by the gain guiding strip to allow light reflected at the end faces to be refracted out of the optical beam path. The device includes index guiding structure extending on opposite sides of the gain guiding strip over the central region of the device parallel to the longitudinal axis of the gain guiding strip. The index guiding structure determines the central lateral boundaries for the optical beam path to provide lateral carrier and optical confinement of the optical beam path at the central region.
