    摘要: A light generating device such as a VCSEL includes a light generation layer, a top reflector, a bottom reflector, and a high thermal conductivity (HTC) layer between the light generation layer and the bottom reflector. The light generation layer is adapted to generate light having a first wavelength. Heat produced at the light generation layer is more efficiently dissipated due to the presence of the HTC layer. Alternatively, a light generating device such as a VCSEL includes a light generation layer, a top reflector, and a high thermal conductivity (HTC) bottom reflector. Heat produced at the light generation layer is more efficiently dissipated due to the fact that the bottom reflector is a HTC DBR reflector having lower thermal resistivity than a conventional DBR reflector.

    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 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: A light-emitting device that includes an LED and a light extraction layer and the method for making the same are disclosed. The LED includes a substrate on which an active layer is sandwiched between a p-type layer and an n-type layer, the active layer generating light in a band of wavelengths about a central wavelength when holes and electrons recombine therein. The n-type layer, active layer, and p-type layer are formed on the substrate. First and second electrodes for providing a potential difference between the p-type layer and the n-type layer are included in the LED. The light extraction layer includes a clear layer of material having a first surface in contact with a surface of the LED and a second surface having light scattering features with dimensions greater than 0.5 times the central wavelength. The material of the clear layer can be polycrystalline or amorphous.

    摘要: The disclosed hybrid microlens enables the economical production of large diameter, high numerical aperture refractive microlens by microfabrication. The hybrid microlens has a combination of a refractive microlens formed on a thin layer of high index material such as silicon and a spacer layer of a low index material such as fused silica. Advantages include substantially reduced lens sag, fast etching of the microlens, small wafer stack thickness, large diffraction angle in the low index spacer, large optical beam diameter, high optical performance, and low cost.Also disclosed is a design for substantially reduced optical return signal and small polarization dependent optical loss from an optical fiber which is perpendicular to and butt-coupled to a planar optical surface. This design is to form a small slanted surface on the planar optical surface in the vicinity of the optical fiber core and fill the space between the fiber and the slanted surface with an index-matching optical epoxy.
