    摘要: In accordance with an aspect of the invention, a system has a transmitter and a receiver, where the transmitter includes a beam source and an optical element. The beam source produces a beam that represents information, and the optical element alters the beam so that the beam has a uniform intensity over a cross-sectional area. The receiver is separated from the transmitter by free space through which the beam propagates and includes an active area positioned to receive a portion of the beam that the receiver converts into a received signal. To accommodate possible misalignment, the cross-sectional area of the beam is larger than the active area by an amount that accommodates a range of misalignment of the receiver with the transmitter.

    摘要: An optical isolator for coupling light from a first waveguide to a second waveguide is disclosed. The optical isolator utilizes a resonator coupled to the first and second optical waveguides. The resonator has a resonance at λ for light traveling from the first optical waveguide to the second optical waveguide; however, the resonator does not have a resonance at λ for light traveling from the second waveguide to the first waveguide. The resonator can use a layer of ferromagnetic material in an applied magnetic field. The magnetic field within the ferromagnetic material varies in strength and/or direction over the layer of ferromagnetic material. The magnetic field can be generated by an external magnetic field that varies over the layer of ferromagnetic material. Alternatively, the resonator can include a layer of ferromagnetic metal that overlies a portion of the layer of ferromagnetic material and a constant external magnetic field.

    摘要: The tunnel junction structure comprises a p-type tunnel junction layer of a first semiconductor material, an n-type tunnel junction layer of a second semiconductor material and a tunnel junction between the tunnel junction layers. At least one of the semiconductor materials includes gallium (Ga), arsenic (As) and either nitrogen (N) or antimony (Sb). The probability of tunneling is significantly increased, and the voltage drop across the tunnel junction is consequently decreased, by forming the tunnel junction structure of materials having a reduced difference between the valence band energy of the material of the p-type tunnel junction layer and the conduction band energy of the n-type tunnel junction layer.

    摘要: An optically pumped vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) device and a method of fabricating the device utilize two separate substrates that perform a filtering operation to selectively transmit only light having a long peak wavelength that is generated by the device. The optically pumped VCSEL device is a self-pumped device that can generate the pump light to drive the device to emit output laser light having a long peak wavelength. The optically pumped VCSEL device includes a short-wavelength VCSEL formed on one of the two substrates and a long-wavelength VCSEL formed on the other substrate. The short-wavelength VCSEL is a current-driven VCSEL that generates short-wavelength light to drive (i.e., optically pump) the long-wavelength VCSEL. The short-wavelength VCSEL and the long-wavelength VCSEL are bonded together such that the two substrates are separated by the two VCSELs. A transparent optical adhesive material or a metallic bonding material may be utilized to bond the short-wavelength VCSEL onto the long-wavelength VCSEL. The substrates are wavelength-selective with respect to propagating light, so that short-wavelength light generated by the short-wavelength VCSEL and not absorbed by the long-wavelength VCSEL is mostly absorbed by the two separate substrates. However, the long-wavelength light generated by the long-wavelength VCSEL is allowed to be transmitted through the substrates as output laser light.
