    摘要: In an optical memory device, such as an optical video disk, an injection laser is used as the source of the light, as the detector of the light reflected from the memory element and as the detector for controlling the proper focus of the light on the memory element. The light reflected from the memory element is fed back into the injection laser and variations in certain characteristics of the injection laser, such as the optical output at constant current, the electrical current through the laser at constant voltage and the voltage drop across the laser at constant current, are used to read the memory device and to maintain the focus.

    摘要: A body of semiconductor material having a very limited contact region. The contact region is adjacent an emitting surface of the body, is spaced from the sides of the body and extends no more than one-quarter the distance from the emitting surface to a surface opposite the emitting surface. That portion of the body in the vicinity of the contact region is the active region of the diode. The smaller the active region, relative to the total size of the body, the less the internal absorption of generated light in the body. A groove can be provided across the body adjacent to that end of the contact region opposite from the emitting surface. In the groove is a metallic layer which functions as a light reflector. Any light generated in the body striking the metallic surface may be reflected out to the emitting surface of the body.

    摘要: A photodetector includes a cap layer over an absorptive layer with the P-N junction formed in the absorptive layer by diffusion of conductivity modifiers from the cap layer. If this diffusion extends too far into the absorptive layer, the detector is rendered useless. The invention includes a photodetector with a buffer layer between the absorptive and cap layers. The concentration of conductivity modifiers is substantially constant in the cap layer, decreases with distance in the buffer layer from the cap layer and extends into the absorptive layer. The invention also includes a method of making this device which includes the steps of forming a buffer layer over the absorptive layer, forming a cap layer over the buffer layer and diffusing the opposite type conductivity modifiers from the cap layer into the buffer and absorptive layers.

    摘要: The invention is an improved buried heterostructure laser wherein the improvement comprises a cladding layer which is interposed between the mesa and the burying region and has a refractive index less than that of the burying region and the effective refractive index of the fundamental transverse mode. The discrimination against higher order modes of propagation provided by the structure permits the use of a wider active layer and thus a larger emitting area.

    摘要: A light emitting diode includes a substrate having a body of single crystalline semiconductor material, preferably a Group III-V compound or alloy thereof, on a surface of the substrate. The body includes a window layer directly on the substrate and one or more other layers on the window layer. The layers of the body are of appropriate conductivety types to form a recombination region in which light can be generated. The substrate has an opening therethrough to the window layer. The window layer is of a material which is substantially transparent to the light generated in the recombination region and is of a thickness, 15 to 30 microns, to provide rigidity to the diode.

    摘要: An injection laser diode is at one end of an optical fiber to direct modulated optical radiation into the fiber. At the other end of the fiber is a detector, such as a semiconductor photodetector, for the modulated radiation. Between the other end of the optical fiber and the detector is a reflecting shutter which is adapted to periodically reflect some of the radiation, at a lower frequency rate, back along the optical fiber to the injection laser. The radiation reflected back into the injection laser causes a variation in the characteristics of the laser so that the laser operates as a detector for the reflected radiation.

    摘要: A reflector of optical radiation is on at least one radiation emitting facet of an electroluminescent device. The reflector includes a plurality of contiguous layers of alternating composition. The layers are of silicon and a material selected from the group consisting of aluminum oxide, magnesium fluoride and silicon dioxide. Each of the layers is approximately .lambda./4n in thickness where ".lambda." is the free space wavelength of radiation emitted from the electroluminescent device, and "n" is the index of refraction of the layer. Two of the alternating contiguous layers provide a reflector which is partially reflecting, while six of the layers provide a reflector substantially reflecting to optical radiation.

    摘要: A body of semiconductor material has opposed end surfaces, opposed side surfaces extending to the end surfaces and opposed first and second contact surfaces which are substantially perpendicular to the end and side surfaces. The body includes a substrate having on a surface thereof a mesa shaped active region which extends to the first contact surface. The active region has side surfaces which are spaced from the side surfaces of the body. Also on the substrate are passive regions which extend from the side surfaces of the active region to the first contact surface and side surfaces of the body. The active region has a P-N junction therein. The passive regions each include a plurality of contiguous passive layers having, P-N junctions therebetween. The P-N junctions of the passive regions extend from the first contact surface to the side surface of the body. Metallic electrodes are on each of the contact surfaces. The passive regions serve to restrict current flow to the active region.
