摘要： This disclosure concerns devices such as DBRs, one example of which includes at least one first mirror layers having an oxidized region extending from an edge of the DBR to an oxide termination edge that is situated greater than a first distance from the edge of the DBR. The DBR also includes at least one second mirror layer having an oxidized region extending from the edge of the DBR to an oxide termination edge that is situated less than a second distance from the edge of the DBR, such that the first distance is greater than the second distance. Additionally, a first mirror layer includes an oxidizable material at a concentration that is higher than the concentration of the oxidizable material in any of the second mirror layers. Finally, a first mirror layer is doped with an impurity at a higher level than one of the second mirror layers.

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： Simplified laser drivers for closed path digital optical cables and digital optical cables including the simplified laser drivers. The laser driver can include less transistors than conventional laser drivers for optical communication cables. The laser can include a bias source and modulation source. The bias source can have a single constant current bias point for all laser diodes. The modulation current source can have a single temperature coefficient for all laser diodes. The laser driver can exclude, for example, any one of or combination of temperature compensation of the modulation or bias current sources, external programming of the modulation or bias current sources, power control based on output of the laser diode, and/or control based on feedback received from a monitor device or other sensor within the cables.
