    摘要: A VCSEL having a metallic heat spreading layer adjacent a semiconductor buffer layer containing an insulating structure. The heat spreading layer includes an opening that enables light emitted by an active region to reflect from a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) top mirror located above the heat spreading layer. A substrate is below the active region. A lower contact provides electrical current to that substrate. The lower contact includes an opening that enables light emitted from the active region to reflect from a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) lower mirror. Beneficially, the substrate includes a slot that enables light to pass through an opening in the lower contact. That slot acts as an alignment structure that enables optical alignment of an external feature to the VCSEL.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for fabricating a metamorphic long-wavelength, high-speed photodiode, wherein a buffer layer matching a substrate lattice constant is formed at normal growth temperatures and a thin grading region which grades past the desired lattice constant is configured at a low temperature. A reverse grade back is performed to match a desired lattice constant. Thereafter, a thick layer is formed thereon, based on the desired lattice constant. Annealing can then occur to isolate dislocated material in a grading layer and a reverse grading layer. Thereon a strained layer superlattice substrate is created upon which a high-speed photodiode can be formed. Implant or diffusion layers grown in dopants can be formed based on materials, such as Be, Mg, C, Te, Si, Se, Zn, or others. A metal layer can be formed over a cap above a P+ region situated directly over an N-active region. The active region also includes a p-doped region. The high-speed photodiode can thus be formed utilizing GaAs, or other substrate material, such as germanium and silicon.

    摘要: A light emitting device is provided with mirrors placed on opposite sides of the source of light and spaced apart by a distance that is determined as a function of the wavelength of the light emitted by the light source. One particular embodiment of the present invention spaces the mirrors apart by a distance equal to n.lambda./2+.lambda./4, where n is an integer value that is maintained as small as possible within practical constraints. The close proximity of the mirrors and their particular spacing which is determined as a function of the wavelength inhibits undesirable modes of light emission in directions toward the mirrors. This inhibition of light in undesirable modes perpendicular to the mirrors enhances the production of light in modes that are parallel to the mirror surfaces. The overall light output efficiency of the device is enhanced through the inhibition of these undesirable modes.

    摘要: Light emitting semiconductor devices such as VCSELs, SELs, and LEDs are manufactured to have a thin electrical confinement barrier in a confining layer near the active region of the device. The thin confinement barrier comprises a III-V semiconductor material having a high aluminum content (e.g. 80%-100% of the type III material). The aluminum content of the adjacent spacer layer is lower than that of the confinement barrier. In one embodiment the spacer layer has an aluminum content of less than 40% and a direct bandgap. The aluminum profile reduces series resistance and improves the efficiency of the semiconductor device.

    摘要: A wavelength selective detector having a first absorbing layer for absorbing light with a wavelength below a lower band cutoff, a second absorbing layer downstream of the first absorbing layer for absorbing light with a wavelength below an upper band cutoff, and a confinement layer situated between the first and second absorbing layers. The lower and upper band cutoffs can be set by controlling the bandgaps and/or thicknesses of the first and second absorbing layers. The wavelength selective detector of the present invention has a good out-of-band rejection, a narrow spectral responsivity, and a high in-band responsivity. In addition, the wavelength selective detector is relatively easy to manufacture using conventional integrated circuit fabrication techniques.

    摘要: A vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) in which a higher order lasing mode produces a Gaussian-like single mode far field beam intensity pattern. Such a VCSEL includes a protective surface deposition on a VCSEL structure, and phase filter elements on the surface deposition. The surface deposition and the phase filter elements implement an optical phase filter that induces optical path difference such that a single mode far field beam intensity pattern results when the VCSEL operates in a higher order lasing mode. The VCSEL can include structures that enhance a selected higher-order operating mode and/or that suppress unwanted operating modes.
