摘要: A VCSEL includes a vertical resonator structure that includes a first Bragg reflector, a second Bragg reflector, and an active region, and a laser diode structure that includes a p-doped first region and an n-doped second region arranged on two sides of the active region, respectively. The vertical resonator structure further includes a tunnel diode structure having a highly n-doped first semiconductor layer and a highly p-doped second semiconductor layer. The VCSEL further includes an electrical contact arrangement having a first metal contact and a second metal contact defining a current path so that, for a voltage applied to the contact arrangement that is a reverse voltage in relation to the laser diode structure and a forward voltage in relation to the tunnel diode structure, charge carriers are conducted away from the vertical resonator structure via the tunnel diode structure into the second metal contact.

摘要: A laser arrangement includes a laser array including a plurality of Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting lasers and an optical structure including a diffuser arranged to change a distribution of the laser light. The optical structure is configured to transform the laser light to transformed laser light such that an overlap of the emission cones of at least a group of the plurality of lasers is increased in field-of-view in comparison to perfectly collimated laser light diffused to a flat-top intensity profile in the field-of-view. The optical structure is arranged to redirect the laser light emitted at angles of the emission cone to the field-of-view so as to increase the overlap of the emitted laser light in the field-of-view. The optical structure is also configured to provide a slope angle α of an intensity profile along a direction of the field-of-view that is smaller than a divergence angle of the laser.

摘要: A method for producing a semiconductor component for emitting light includes providing a base body, the base body comprising an active layer for generating the light and a tunnel contact, and forming a stop structure by implantation in a region of the tunnel contact. The stop structure delimits the tunnel contact and serves to constrict a current introduced into the active layer. Defects due to crystal imperfections are generated by the implantation so that the implanted region is transparent for the light having an emitted wavelength.

摘要: The present invention relates to an illumination device for a distance measurement camera, in particular a time of flight, TOF, camera system, a corresponding illumination method and a distance measurement camera system comprising said illumination device in order to improve distance measurements. The illumination device is configured to illuminate a particular region on an illumination plane with two different illumination profiles such as a first homogenous illumination profile and a second spot pattern illumination profile. The homogeneous illumination profile can enable a measurement with improved lateral resolution whereas the spot pattern illumination can enable a measurement with improved depth resolution.

摘要: The invention relates to a method for determining the absolute value of the flow velocity (v) of a particle-transporting medium. At least two measurement laser beams (L_i) with linearly independent, non-orthogonal measurement directions (b_i) are emitted. The measurement laser beams (L_i) scattered at particles are detected and one measurement signal (m_i) is generated in each case for each measurement laser beam (L_i). The measurement signals (m_i) are evaluated, wherein absolute values of velocity components (v_i) are ascertained as projections of the flow velocity (v) on the respective measurement directions (b_i), wherein a solid angle region is ascertained for the prevalent direction of the flow velocity (v) and signs assigned to this solid angle region are chosen for the individual velocity components (v_i), and wherein the absolute value of the flow velocity (v) is determined using the ascertained absolute values of the velocity components (v_i) and using the chosen signs for the velocity components (v_i).

摘要: A diffuser lens includes a first annular lens segment and a second annular lens segment. The first and the second lens segments are concentric. A refractive index of the first and second lens segments in a cross-section along a plane including an optical axis of the diffusor lens is described by a refractive index profile which varies in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. The refractive index profile includes a first sub-profile, which describes the refractive index profile of the first lens segment, and a second sub-profile, which describes the refractive index profile of the second lens segment. The first sub-profile transitions to the second sub-profile at an interface. These first and second sub-profiles have slopes with opposite signs.

摘要: A laser arrangement includes a laser array, and an optical arrangement. The laser array includes lasers in a first pattern emitting a same laser emission profile around a first optical axis with a divergence angle θ/2. The optical arrangement has a diffusor with an array of optical elements in a second pattern, with a second optical axis, and with an illumination pattern along a first illumination axis in a field-of-view if laser light is received within a defined range smaller than or equal to a range of angles between −/+θ with respect to the second optical axis. A row of lasers parallel to the first illumination axis has a pitch p. A row of m optical elements is parallel to the first axis. Each optical element has a diameter L, and contacts its neighbor. The n lasers and the m optical elements satisfy n*p=m*L with a deviation smaller than +/−5%.

摘要: A Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) includes a layer stack of semiconductor layers having a first layer sub-stack forming a mesa, and a second layer sub-stack adjacent to the mesa in a stacking direction. Layers of the second layer sub-stack extend beyond layers of the first sub-stack in a direction perpendicular to the stacking direction. The semiconductor layers of the layer stack form an optical resonator having a first mirror, a second mirror, an active region between the first and second mirrors for laser light generation, and an oxide aperture layer forming a current aperture. The oxide aperture layer is made from Al1-xGaxAs with 0≤x≤0.05. The oxide aperture layer is a last layer of the mesa and immediately adjacent to a first layer of the second layer sub-stack. A first layer of the second layer sub-stack is a contact layer.
