    摘要: A switchable laser driver includes one or more pre-drivers, two or more signal interrupters coupled with the pre-driver(s), and two or more drivers coupled with the signal interrupters. By selecting a signal from a pre-driver instead of from a driver, the switchable laser driver maintains its speed.
    A DC-coupled laser driver for a directly modulated laser (DML) couples an inductor, the DML, and a bias current sink in series. The anode and cathode of the DML are coupled with two outputs of a current switch, and two termination circuits, each including a termination resistor in series with a capacitor.

    摘要: A light-emitting device is provided with a light source and a controller. The light source includes multiple light-emitting elements and multiple driving elements that are provided in correspondence with the light-emitting elements and drive the light-emitting elements to light up by going to an ON state. The controller controls a switching between a successive lighting operation that causes the light-emitting elements to light up successively and a simultaneous lighting operation that causes the light-emitting elements to light up simultaneously in parallel. The light source includes a power supply line set to a reference potential or a power supply potential, a driving signal line that is connected to the power supply line and that supplies a driving signal to the driving elements, and a lighting signal line that supplies a lighting signal for causing the light-emitting elements to light up. In the successive lighting operation, the controller sets the power supply line to the power supply potential and sets each driving element to the ON state with the driving signal and the lighting signal to cause each light-emitting element corresponding to each driving element to light up successively. In the simultaneous lighting operation, the controller sets the power supply line to the reference potential and also sets the driving elements to the ON state with the driving signal and the lighting signal to cause the light-emitting elements to light up simultaneously in parallel.

    摘要: A nitride semiconductor laser device of one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a single-crystal substrate, a base layer, a sheet-shaped structure, a light emitting layer, and a resonator mirror. The single-crystal substrate extends in one direction. The base layer is provided on the single-crystal substrate and includes a nitride semiconductor. The sheet-shaped structure is provided on the base layer to stand in a direction perpendicular to the base layer. The sheet-shaped structure has an area of a side surface that is greater than an area of an upper surface. The side surface extends in a longitudinal direction of the single-crystal substrate. The sheet-shaped structure includes a nitride semiconductor. The light emitting layer is provided at least on the side surface of the sheet-shaped structure. The light emitting layer includes a nitride semiconductor. The resonator mirror is provided by a pair of end surfaces of the sheet-shaped structure that oppose each other in the longitudinal direction.

    摘要: A vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) device includes a first distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) minor; a second DBR minor arranged on the first DBR mirror; an active layer arranged between the first DBR mirror and the second DBR mirror; and an oxidation layer arranged between the active layer and the second DBR mirror. The oxidation layer comprises an oxide aperture formed through the oxidation layer. A plurality of segmented oxidation trenches are arranged around an area in which the oxide aperture is formed and extend into the stacked structure to expose the oxidation layer for oxidation that forms the oxide aperture. A plurality of plating islands are spatially separated from each other. Each plating island vertically extends into a respective segmented oxidation trench of the plurality of segmented oxidation trenches and seals the respective segmented oxidation trench in order to prevent further oxidation of the oxidation layer.
