    摘要: Connector apparatus for coupling an optical fiber cable with laser devices. The apparatus comprises a receptacle terminating aligned fibers of the optical cable in a planar surface perpendicular to a central axis of the receptacle. A plug mounts a plurality of laser devices each having an electrical terminal for connecting a laser device to an external source and an optical terminal aligned in a planar surface perpendicular to a central axis of the plug with each optical terminal positioned to correspond with one of the receptacle fibers. The plug slidably engages the receptacle and is affixed thereto to position the receptacle planar surface adjacent to and aligned with the plug planar surface to optically couple each laser device with a corresponding fiber of the optical cable.

    摘要: Improved heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) are disclosed. Inventive devices can attain high cut-off frequency (f.sub.T), exemplarily 80 GHz or higher, and high DC current gain (.beta.), exemplarily 25 or higher. The devices exhibit lateral scaling, permitting reduction in emitter stripe width without unacceptable decrease in .beta.. Exemplarily the stripe width is 1 .mu.m or less. The inventive HBTs are hot electron devices, with the hot electrons in the base region being spatially confined such that relatively few electrons reach the surface of the extrinsic base region. The relatively low bulk and surface recombination rate in the base of inventive HBTs is an important aspect of the invention and makes possible devices having relatively high .beta. and low power consumption. Appropriate choice of base material, namely, a semiconductor material having relatively low intrinsic surface recombination velocity, can result in further reduction of surface recombination, as can, for instance, the use of an appropriate non-alloyed metal base contact. Appropriate choice of collector material can result in improved ballistic transport through the collector depletion region, and novel selection criteria are disclosed. InP, InAs, and In.sub.0.53 Ga.sub.0.47 As are exemplary materials that meet these criteria. Use of a highly doped collector contact region, with dopant level within a relatively narrow concentration range, can also lead to improved device behavior, as can the use of a compound emitter that comprises one or more appropriately placed thin undoped heteroepitaxial layers.

    摘要: A hot electron transistor (HET) comprising features that can result in substantially improved device characteristics is disclosed. Among the features is a highly doped (typically more than about 10.sup.20 cm.sup.-3) thin base region, a thin (typically less than about 100 nm) collector depletion region, and a highly doped (typically more than about 10.sup.19 cm.sup.-3) collector contact region. Ballistic transport through the base region is possible, despite the high doping level, because the inelastic scattering rate can be relatively low in at least some highly doped compound semiconductors such as GaAs, AlGaAs, InGaAs, or InP. The elastic scattering rate in the base region can be relatively low if the dopant atoms have an appropriate non-random distribution. Techniques for achieving such a distribution are disclosed. Transistors according to the invention are expected to find advantageous use in applications that demand high speed, e.g., in repeaters in high capacity optical fiber transmission systems.

    摘要: An improved compound semiconductor hot electron transistor (HET) having room temperature current gain .beta.>10 is disclosed. Disclosed are also means by which improved HET performance can be obtained. Among these means is choice of the base layer material such that the hot electrons injected into the base have k.sub.i,2 /k.sub.i,1 >0.2, where k.sub.i,1 and k.sub.i,2 are the components of the electron wave vector respectively normal and parallel to the emitter/base interface. A further means is choice of collector material such that the hot electron velocity component normal to the base/collector interface remains relatively unchanged upon passage of the hot electron through the base/collector interface. For instance, an appropriate superlattice in the collector region may be used to achieve such matching. Causing quantization of the ambient charge carrier states in the base can reduce hot electron scattering in the base. In bipolar HETs such scattering can also be reduced if the effective heavy hole mass in the base is much larger (e.g.,.times.10) than the effective electron mass in the forward direction. A strained base layer may be used to achieve this.

    摘要: The inventive quantum well opto-electronic devices of cavity length L.sub.C comprise, in addition to a "gain" section, a "loss" section that is optically coupled to the gain section but electrically substantially isolated therefrom. Through change of the electrical bias on the loss section the modal gain of the cavity can be changed. Devices according to the invention are useful in a variety of applications. Exemplarily, by making (in an inventive laser) L.sub.C /L.sub.A greater than about 20 (L.sub.A is the length of the loss section) and making the electrical isolation between the gain section and the loss section greater than about 3 k.OMEGA., fast amplitude modulation of the laser radiation is possibly. By applying appropriate AR coatings to the cavity of an inventive device, a fast variable-gain optical amplifier can be made. Finally, an inventive laser can be switched electrically between two widely spaced wavelengths, the wavelength difference being at least 10 nm. This makes possible use of inventive devices in apparatus such as information storage systems, information processing systems, and communication systems. Methods of operating such apparatus are also disclosed.
