A lighting device (1) includes a fluorescent member (4) which is irradiated with laser light emitted by a semiconductor laser (2) and emits fluorescent light, a rotation mechanism (6) which rotates the fluorescent member, and a reflecting member (7) which reflects the fluorescent light emitted by the fluorescent member toward the outside.
摘要:
A lamp comprises a thin layer of phosphor (105,113) which is irradiated (46), for example by ultraviolet radiation, by a source which typically comprises a laser diode and a condenser (101,111). This causes the phosphor (105,113) to emit visible light with a Lambertion-type emission pattern. An optical system such as a reflector (102,115) concentrates the light from the phosphor (105,113). The phosphor (105,113) is thermally connected to a heatsink (103,116), of example by a plate (114) of sapphire glass, so as to dissipate the heat produced by the phosphor (105,113). The phosphor (105) may be mounted on a plane reflector (104) disposed on or comprising the heatsink (103) and facing a curved reflector (102) and the radiation source. Alternatively, the optical system may have an optical axis and the phosphor (113) may be substantially flat and inclined with the respect to the optical axis.

摘要:
After a p-type cladding layer, an etching rate reducing layer and a p-type contact layer are formed in order on an n-type substrate, an etching mask is formed. Then, by using the etching mask, the p-type contact layer, the etching rate reducing layer and the p-type cladding layer are partially etched in the region outside the etching mask with an etchant. At this time, the etching rate of the layers by the etchant is slower in the etching rate reducing layer than in the p-type cladding layer and the p-type contact layer. Then, a metal thin film is formed such that the film continuously coats an upper surface and side surfaces of a ridge consisting of the above layers left after the etching step. A normal vector at a surface coated with the thin film has an upward component.

In a semiconductor laser device having an oscillation wavelength of larger than 760 nm and smaller than 800 nm, on an n-type GaAs substrate (101), there are stacked in sequence an n-type first and second lower cladding layers (103, 104), a lower guide layer (106), a strained InGaAsP multiquantum well active layer (107), an upper guide layer (109), and a p-type upper cladding layer (110). Since the lower guide layer (106) is formed of InGaP, leakage of carriers from an active region is reduced. Also, since the upper guide layer (109) is formed of AlGaAs, an overflow of carriers (electrons in particular) is suppressed.
摘要:
In the semiconductor laser device of the present invention, a p-side electrode 115 formed on a second conductive type semiconductor layer group of the layers 108 through 114 includes an Ag layer 115a, a Pd layer 115b and an Au layer 115c in order from the side in contact with the second conductive type semiconductor layer group of the layers 108 through 114. The refractive index of the Ag layer 115a is sufficiently smaller than the refractive index of the semiconductor material used for the semiconductor layer group of the layers 108 through 114. Therefore, the oscillation laser light can be confined in the semiconductor layer group of the layers 108 through 114 without leaking toward the p-side electrode 115.
摘要:
A semiconductor device has a main structure member laminated on a first conductivity-type semiconductor substrate. On the main structure, there is formed a first substructure member, the entirety of which, including lowermost layer, is second conductivity-type. On the main structure member, there is also formed a second substructure member spatially separated from the first substructure member. The second substructure member has a current block layer of a semiconductor layer on the second conductivity-type structure identical to the first substructure member. In the semiconductor device, there is further provided a p-side electrode formed on the first and second substructure members and between the first and second substructure members to connect therebetween.
