A transistor for emitting laser with a fixed frequency includes a first region, a second region, at least one quantum well, and a third region. The at least one quantum well is installed in the second region, and the second region is coupled between the first region and the third region. When one of the first region, the second region, and the third region receives two signals, or two of the first region, the second region, and the third region receive the two signals respectively, the at least one quantum well emits the laser with the fixed frequency.

A tunable swept multi-laser system comprising a first laser source, a second laser source, a first wavelength blocking component, and a second wavelength blocking component. The first laser source has a first wavelength working range and the second laser source has a second wavelength working range. The first wavelength working range begins at a first start wavelength and ends at a first end wavelength. The second wavelength working range begins at a second start wavelength, ends at a second end wavelength, and overlaps with the first wavelength working range. The first wavelength blocking component has a first wavelength blocking range including the first end wavelength. The second wavelength blocking component has a second wavelength blocking range including the second start wavelength. The first wavelength blocking component is optically coupled with the first laser source and the second wavelength blocking component is optically coupled with the second laser source.

An optical semiconductor device and optical semiconductor integrated circuit are provided by combining, on a semiconductor substrate, materials having different refractive indices and different temperature dependence of the refractive indices. In particular, it becomes possible to control the temperature dependence of the oscillation wavelength with a propagating region having a material and/or structure whose temperature dependence of the refractive index is different from that of a gain region of the semiconductor laser. In addition, they can be configured to have a plurality of interfaces formed along the waveguide direction of the optical waveguide so that the light reflected off the first interface is weakened by the light reflected from the remaining interfaces. Also, they can be configured with the interfaces inclined to the propagating direction so that the waveguide loss due to the reflection and refraction between the optical waveguides whose refractive indices differ from each other can be reduced.

摘要:
A tunable laser diode on a semi-insulating substrate having a stripe-shaped layer structure has an intermediate layer between an active layer and a tuning layer that is grown-over by an confinement layer that is doped for the same conductivity type as the intermediate layer. An oppositely doped, lateral region is electrically connected via an identically doped lower region to the active layer. An upper region is likewise oppositely doped and is electrically connected to the tuning layer. A contact layer is essentially planarly applied on the surface of the confinement layer and has respective portions on the appertaining regions on which the contacts provided with adequate bond areas are applied with a further contact layer for the common contact.
摘要:
A semiconductor laser in which the photons injected from its waveguide region into the laser active region are those whose energies differ from the energy sum of the chemical potential of the electron-hole pairs and the energy of the longitudinal acoustic phonons by less than one-half the thermal energy is described. A current directed into the photon emission region in the area of the Bragg grating causes photons of this energy to be injected into the laser active region which is constituted of a layer of indium gallium arsenide phosphide.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to novel optoelectronic devices, such as light emitters and detectors, that have a unique combination of semiconductor materials that provides a band arrangement resulting in improved efficiency of carrier injection. The devices are quantum well type devices in which discrete electronic states are formed by size quantization effects in the quantum well region. Electromagnetic radiation of emission and absorption occurs by the transition of electrons from a first energy state to a second energy state in either the conduction band or the valence band of the quantum well layer. The bands edges of the layers are offset such that under an appropriate bias, the discrete energy states reside in the bandgap of one of the electrodes and in an allowed region of the other electrode, with one state residing in the conduction band of one electrode and the other state residing in the valence band of the other electrode. The wavelength of the emitted or detected light is inversely proportional to the energy difference between the first and second states. Wavelength customization is facilitated by techniques for adjusting the energy difference.
