    摘要: The present invention concerns laser diode arrays having an accurately spaced offset in the laser beams emanating from their respective laser stripes, and methods of their manufacture. The first method involves the mounting of at least two laser diodes on a submount such that the axes of the laser stripes between the two respective diodes are accurately spaced. The second method concerns the placement of a position mark on each diode at a accurate distance from the axis of the laser stripe such that the mark is easily detectable from a side view. The two diodes are then mounted with the axes of their laser stripes accurately spaced from the relative positioning of the position marks. The third method concerns the manufacture of laser diodes whose laser stripe axes are accurately spaced from at least one side edge of the diodes. The array of diodes is constructed such that the laser stripe axes are accurately spaced from each other relative to the side edges of accurate distance from their respective axes.

    摘要: An index-guided semiconductor laser diode made by impurity-induced layer disordering (IILD) of AlInP, GaInP and AlGaInP heterostructures. Several techniques for reducing parasitic leakage current via the n-type IILD regions, are described. These include removing the upper portions of the material outside the laser stripe, which can be accomplished by wet or dry etching of the material in a self-aligned manner. As an alternative, after formation of the waveguide, appropriately doped layers are grown over the disordered and as-grown regions of the structure to contact the active waveguide and simultaneously block parasitic shunt current from the disordered regions. Another method provides shallow inset insulating regions to replace the n-type disordered regions at the vicinity of a cap layer used to reduce a current barrier.

    摘要: A III-V nitride blue laser diode has an amplifier region and a modulator region. The amplifier region has a constant current to keep the region near the lasing threshold. The modulator region has a small varying forward current or reverse bias voltage which controls the light output of the laser. This two section blue laser diode requires much lower power consumption than directly modulated lasers which reduces transient heating and “drooping” of the light output.

    摘要: The optical path length of a raster output scanning (ROS) system is minimized by the use of a laser beam source for emitting a light beam with an enlarged divergence ratio. A super-elliptic light source beam with at least an 8:1 elliptic ratio of the major cross-scan axis to the minor scan axis will minimize the optical path length of a raster output scanning (ROS) system. The large divergence ratio of the super-elliptic light beam reduces the required focal lengths in the ROS optics while maintaining the desired numerical apertures and high energy throughput.

    摘要: In a method and apparatus for raster scanning optical output device, such as a laser printer or the like, an array of independently addressable light emitting devices, such as an array of solid state lasers, is used to control spot position on an image plane in the slow scan direction. The array is disposed such that the spots emitted from each element of the array impinge the image plane displaced in the slow scan direction from one another. The total distance between all the spots is less than the distance between fast scan direction scan lines. Only a single element of the array is operated per scan line, thus only a single spot is formed on the image plane per scan line. Control of which of the elements of the array emits a light beam per scan line allows control of the spot position in the slow scan direction for that scan line.
