    摘要: A metal/semiconductor junction Schottky diode optical device using a distortion grown layer is described. A plurality of GaAs mirror and AlAs mirror layers are periodically grown on a semi-insulating GaAs substrate. An n+ or p+ semiconductor layer is formed on the GaAs mirror and AlAs mirror layers. A GaAs buffer layer is formed on the semiconductor layer to grow a Schottky metal layer serving as an electrode and a mirror. A multiple quantum well structure having an electro-optical absorption characteristic is positioned between the semiconductor layer and Schottky metal layer, for constructing a diode with the metal layer/multiple quantum well structure. At least a part of the mirror layers and diode are formed with a layer in order to have resonance and non-resonance conditions between the metal layer and mirror layers. The substrate on which the diode is formed has an opposite side formed with an optical non-reflective layer.

    摘要: A vertical modulator with a dual mode distributed Bragg reflection (DBR), includes a pair of integrated elements using different wavelengths to provide functions of logical operation, data switching and wavelength conversion. The optical device includes a first optical structure operating at a first wavelength (.lambda..sub.1) and a second optical structure operating at a second wavelength (.lambda..sub.2). The first and second optical structures are formed over a semiconductor substrate. The first optical structure, which operates at the first wavelength (.lambda..sub.1), transmits its data to the second optical structure so that data corresponding to the second wavelength (.lambda..sub.2) can be output. Since the wavelength of input light is different from the wavelength of output light, the optical device serves as a modulator which performs a logic operation and switching function while carrying out wavelength conversion.

    摘要: For a multiple transmission communication system, how to individually isolate the transmitted lights and then to distribute to the terminals has been primary concerns to be solved. In the photodetector structure, an absorption layer may be configured as either multiple quantum well structures corresponding to operational wavelengths, or filter-based structure, allowing to select wavelengths in a 1:2:4:8 ratio as an absorptance for each wavelength. In case of using such four-fold lights, the determination as to which wavelength among four-fold wavelengths can be made based upon the total amounts of the current flow in such a photodetector. The photodetector employing such schemes is provided from the present invention.

    摘要: Disclosed is an ultrafast optical switching device having two types of multiple quantum well structures to be connected with each other, the device comprising a semi-insulating substrate; and a first and a second multiple quantum well structure formed sequentially on the substrate and united with each other to produce a double-junction multiple quantum well structure. Each of the multiple quantum well structures has nonlinear optical effects and two life time constants present while switching off in the device. One of the life time constants corresponds to a short life time constant to be determined dependent on electrons in the double-junction multiple quantum well structure and the other of the life time constants corresponds to a long life time constant to be determined dependent on holes and lattices therein. The multiple quantum well structures are formed in such a manner that short life time constants thereof may be in-phase with each other and long life time constants thereof may be out-of-phase to each other. The multiple quantum well structures are formed differently from each other in composition.

    摘要: A surface adsorption apparatus for dissociating H.sub.2 molecules into atomic hydrogen in a vacuum vessel and adsorbing the atomic hydrogen on a sample surface is disclosed. A vacuum tube is mounted in the vacuum vessel. A nozzle is connected to the vacuum tube having a plurality of bent portions. A heating member receives electrical power from a power supply source and heats the nozzle to a predetermined temperature. A heat shielding member is located in a path of the atomic hydrogen between one end of the nozzle and the sample surface for shielding the sample surface from heat radiating from the nozzle. The H.sub.2 molecules collide with inner wall surfaces of the bent portions to be readily dissociate into the atomic hydrogen. The atomic dissociated hydrogen propagates toward the sample surface and is adsorbed on the sample surface. Since the nozzle comprises bent portions, H.sub.2 molecules frequently collide with inner wall surfaces of the nozzle to readily dissociate into atomic hydrogen. The H.sub.2 collision efficiency is significantly improved by increased surface collisions with the bent portions. Because the bent portions of the nozzle are heated by the heating member, the construction of the apparatus is simplified.

    摘要: An all-optical signal processing apparatus of a non-linear fiber loop mirror type comprises a very high-speed all-optical switch that can be used as a reverse multiplexed switch in a high-speed time division optical communication. The apparatus includes a non-linear loop mirror for switching signal light by adjusting light using the non-linear effect of an optical fiber and the characteristics of a sagnac interferometer as the fundamental configuration. The all-optical switch is constructed so that another adjustment light having an appropriate time delay with respect to an existing adjusting light is additionally introduced in order to compensate for the limitation on the switching bandwidth imposed by the walk-off between adjusting and signal lights in a conventional non-linear optical fiber loop mirror. This compensates for the cross-talk of the noise signals due to DC components generated in the conventional apparatus. A switching window of a desirable size is obtained by properly adjusting the time delay between two adjusting lights and resolving the bandwidth limitation of the switch due to the walk-off of the adjusting and signal lights according to the timing jitter of signal light.
