    摘要: A semiconductor light source comprises a substrate, lower and upper claddings, a waveguide region with imbedded active area, and electrical contacts to provide voltage necessary for the wavelength tuning. The active region includes single or several heterojunction periods sandwiched between charge accumulation layers. Each of the active region periods comprises higher and lower affinity semiconductor layers with type-II band alignment. The charge carrier accumulation in the charge accumulation layers results in electric field build-up and leads to the formation of generally triangular electron and hole potential wells in the higher and lower affinity layers. Nonequillibrium carriers can be created in the active region by means of electrical injection or optical pumping. The ground state energy in the triangular wells and the radiation wavelength can be tuned by changing the voltage drop across the active region.

    摘要: An optoelectronic device comprises a detector, an emitter and a modulator corporated into a single semiconductor chip. The optoelectronic device provides electrical isolation and optical interconnection (via waveguides) of the components of the semiconductor chip. Contacts for providing forward and reverse bias voltages are included in the device. The optoelectronic device is fabricated by growing a strained-layer quantum diode structure to produce a piezoelectric field in a quantum well, electrically isolating portions of the structure, and optically interconnecting portions of the structure. The fabrication is carried out by using an implant process or an etching process, and without having to use either regrowth techniques or packaging together of multiple optical elements.

    摘要: A valve-less fluid control circuit for controlling rhythmic action devices, such as circulatory assist devices. The fluid control circuit has a plurality of pressure sensitive fluid oscillators for circulating a fluid. Each fluid oscillator includes a capacitance chamber unit for peristaltic pumping of fluid after being filled via an input conduit and a resistance conduit. A first control conduit provides an outlet of fluid from the capacitance unit during peristaltic pumping, and when the pressure of the fluid in the first control conduit reaches a certain level relative to the pressure of fluid in the input conduit, the fluid is directed through an interactive region and exits the first fluid oscillator through an exhaust conduit. A coupling unit couples the output of the first fluid oscillator to the input conduit of the successive fluid oscillator, so that the expansion and contraction of the capacitance chambers occurs successively without the need for valves and/or complicated control circuitry, such as solenoids and cams. A return conduit at the last fluid oscillator returns the fluid to a second control conduit of the first fluid oscillator to refill the first capacitance chamber.
