Diode having trenches in a semiconductor region

Patent Palacios, Tomas Apostol; Lu, Bin; Matioli, Elison de Nazareth

An electrode structure is described in which conductive regions are recessed into a semiconductor region. Trenches may be formed in a semiconductor region, such that conductive regions can be formed in the trenches. The electrode structure may be used in semiconductor devices such as field effect transistors or diodes. Nitride-based power semiconductor devices are described including such an electrode structure, which can reduce leakage current and otherwise improve performance.

Thermally robust semiconductor optical amplifiers and laser diodes

Patent Dijaili, Sol P [Moraga, CA]; Patterson, Frank G [Danville, CA]; Walker, Jeffrey D [El Cerrito, CA]; ...

A highly heat conductive layer is combined with or placed in the vicinity of the optical waveguide region of active semiconductor components. The thermally conductive layer enhances the conduction of heat away from the active region, which is where the heat is generated in active semiconductor components. This layer is placed so close to the optical region that it must also function as a waveguide and causes the active region to be nearly the same temperature as the ambient or heat sink. However, the semiconductor material itself should be as temperature insensitive as possible and therefore the invention combines amore » « less

Fiber optic coupling of a microlens conditioned, stacked semiconductor laser diode array

Patent Beach, Raymond J [Livermore, CA]; Benett, William J [Livermore, CA]; Mills, Steven T [Antioch, CA]

The output radiation from the two-dimensional aperture of a semiconductor laser diode array is efficiently coupled into an optical fiber. The two-dimensional aperture is formed by stacking individual laser diode bars on top of another in a "rack and stack" configuration. Coupling into the fiber is then accomplished using individual microlenses to condition the output radiation of the laser diode bars. A lens that matches the divergence properties and wavefront characteristics of the laser light to the fiber optic is used to focus this conditioned radiation into the fiber.

Semiconductor diode laser having an intracavity spatial phase controller for beam control and switching

Patent Hohimer, John P [Albuquerque, NM]

A high-power broad-area semiconductor laser having a intracavity spatial phase controller is disclosed. The integrated intracavity spatial phase controller is easily formed by patterning an electrical contact metallization layer when fabricating the semiconductor laser. This spatial phase controller changes the normally broad far-field emission beam of such a laser into a single-lobed near-diffraction-limited beam at pulsed output powers of over 400 mW. Two operating modes, a thermal and a gain operating mode, exist for the phase controller, allowing for steering and switching the beam as the modes of operation are switched, and the emission beam may be scanned, for example,more » « less
