    Abstract: An amplified spontaneous emission, ASE, source device combining a superluminescent light emitting diode, SLED, with a semiconductor optical amplifier, SOA, the SLED and SOA being arranged in series so that the SLED acts as a seed and the SOA acts as a broadband amplifier for the SLED output. Both SLED and SOA have a structure made up of a succession of epitaxial semiconductor layers which form a waveguide comprising a core of active region layers and surrounding cladding layers. The SLED and SOA confinement factors of the SLED and SOA, wherein confinement factor is the percentage of the optical mode power in the active region layers, is designed so that the SLED confinement factor is greater than that of the SOA by at least 20%. This allow higher power outputs, because the SLED power limits imposed by the onset of non-linear effects and catastrophic optical damage can be circumvented.

    Abstract: Examples described herein generally relate to apparatus and methods for rapid thermal processing (RTP) of a substrate. The present disclosure discloses pulsed radiation sources, used to measure a broad range of low to high temperatures in the RTP chamber. In one example, two or more lasers, one of which emits pulses of radiation at 1,030 nm and one of which emits pulses of radiation at 1,080 nm, which measures temperatures below about 200° C., are used. In another example, two or more LEDs, one of which emits pulses of radiation at 1,030 nm and one of which emits pulses of radiation at 1,080 nm, are used. In yet another example, a broadband radiation source is used to emit pulses of radiation at least at 1,030 nm and 1,080 nm. These radiation sources are useful for detection of a broad range of low to high temperatures in the RTP chamber.

    Abstract: A light source includes a control unit that controls currents injected into at least one light emitting region and a light emission spectrum conversion region. The at least one light emitting region includes a first light emitting region and a second light emitting region different from the first light emitting region, light that is emitted from the first light emitting region and passes through the light emission spectrum conversion region is combined with the light that is emitted from the first or second light emitting region and does not pass through the light emission spectrum conversion region. The control unit controls the currents injected into the light emission spectrum conversion region and the first light emitting region so that the current density of the light emission spectrum conversion region is smaller than the current density of the first light emitting region.
