摘要： Optical pumping arrangements are provided for the broadband or multiple wavelength pumping of optical sources. Sources may be based on Raman gain media and may use multiple output couplers to couple out different wavelength ranges. Cascaded Raman resonator (CRR) configurations may also be used. Overlapping resonators at different wavelengths may be configured to share gain media, and may have separate portions in separate optical paths. Attenuation filters may also be used that are matched to the gain profile of a gain medium, to flatten the gain spectrum and allow equalization of gain to different output wavelengths. In one embodiment, polarization maintaining fiber is used to develop resonant conditions at different wavelengths in different polarization states. Wideband output gratings may be substituted for narrowband gratings to provide CRR configurations with a broader output band. Broadband amplification may also be provided by using a laser source operating in coherence collapse. The multiple wavelength pumping lends itself to a pumping arrangement in which sources at different wavelengths are combined into separate transmission/gain media such as the different fibers of an optical fiber cable.

摘要： III-V arsenide-nitride semiconductor are disclosed. Group III elements are combined with group V elements, including at least nitrogen and arsenic, in concentrations chosen to lattice match commercially available crystalline substrates. Epitaxial growth of these III-V crystals results in direct bandgap materials, which can be used in applications such as light emitting diodes and lasers. Varying the concentrations of the elements in the III-V materials varies the bandgaps, such that materials emitting light spanning the visible spectra, as well as mid-IR and near-UV emitters, can be created. Conversely, such material can be used to create devices that acquire light and convert the light to electricity, for applications such as full color photodetectors and solar energy collectors. The growth of the III-V material can be accomplished by growing thin layers of elements or compounds in sequences that result in the overall lattice match and bandgap desired.

摘要： An infrared laser diode wireless local area network for communication between spatially dispersed terminals such as computers which may be located in a single room or in adjacent rooms. The lasers may be tuned to emit at varying frequencies for wavelength multiplexing, or a plurality of lasers each having a different output frequency can be connected with each terminal. A receiver connected to each terminal may similarly detect only a single narrow waveband or may detect a plurality of such wavebands. A transceiver may be employed for signal transmission between separate rooms. High speed data modulation of the carrier waves is provided with MOPA or similar lasers, and broad angular dispersion of the output is achieved by such lasers along with dispersive lenses.

摘要： A vehicle lighting system using individually addressable laser diodes or laser arrays coupled to a fiber optic waveguide. A plurality of laser light sources are grouped together and conveniently located on the vehicle. Each laser light source is individually addressable and produces a beam that is coupled to a fiber optic waveguide. The waveguide distally transmits the beam to various optical loads on the vehicle. Alternatively, each fiber optic waveguide may be coupled to receive a beam from more than one laser light source. This allows switching to an operational light source should one fail. In this manner, the operational life of the system is increased.

摘要： A semiconductor laser includes a grating that is disposed at an angle to cavity reflectors to coherently diffract a beam of light along a path that is at least partially laterally directed within the cavity. The grating period and orientation are selected such that a specified wavelength of the light beam propagating along the path will resonate for light that impinges upon the end reflectors at normal incidence. By keeping the angle of incidence of the light beam upon the grating greater than about 45 degrees, reflectivity of the grating is maximized and the required grating period is larger thereby simplifying the fabrication of the grating.

摘要： A pyrotechnic ignition method in which a semiconductor laser bar or bars containing a number of independent laser array sources deliver optical power in a specified sequence through optical fibers to a set of pyrotechnic elements in order to initiate a sequence of pyrotechnic events, such as a fireworks display, building demolition, emergency ejection sequence, satellite launch, etc. A command signal is transmitted and received, typically by a remote station from the user. The signal is decoded to generate a set of electrical signals representing addresses of individual laser arrays on the laser bar. The laser arrays are activated in the desired sequence in response to the set of electrical signals and emit laser light. This light is transmitted along optical fibers coupled to the individual laser arrays and terminating in pyrotechnic elements. The pyrotechnic elements are ignited in response to optical power received from the optical fibers, typically by direct heating of a detonator. The detonator may also be ignited photochemically or by electric current produced by a photoelectric sensor in response to sensing of the laser light.

摘要： A semiconductor laser array having a single lobe far field intensity pattern radiating normal to the laser's light emitting facet. The laser array has a plurality of semiconductor layers disposed over a substrate, at least one of the layers forming an active region for lightwave generation and propagation under lasing conditions. A plurality of adjacent spaced apart optical waveguides defined by waveguides and interconnecting waveguides directly couples lightwaves propagating in each waveguide into an adjacent waveguide. The waveguides are characterized by separations which are not equal at the light emitting facet but are selectively varied so that the sampling function has only a single central lobe. In the preferred embodiment, separations are greatest for edge located and smallest for centrally located waveguides. Interconnecting waveguides connect adjacent waveguides at respective Y-shaped junctions, the junctions being symmetric at least on the output side of the laser.

摘要： A semiconductor quantized layered structure comprising first and second different semiconductor materials comprising compound semiconductors from both the Group III and Group V elements and forming a plurality of alternate layers, each interfaced to its adjacent layer in a semiconductor homojunction or heterojunction. The bottom of the conduction bands of the first and second materials are at different energy levels and the tops of the valence bands of the first and second materials are at different energy levels. The bottoms of the conduction bands of the first and second materials form a plurality of serially arranged potential wells and barriers due to differences in the band structures of the different materials forming alternate layers and the interfacing of the layers forming heterojunctions so that the thinness of the layers will spatially localize electrons to obtain quantized electron states in one dimension transverse to the longitudinal extent of said layers. The invention is characterized in that the first material is an indirect bandgap material and optimized luminescence efficiency of the first material is achieved by adjusting the thickness of the layers comprising the first material to be less than the mean free path of an electron in the first material in the absence of the second material. Three dimensional quantized electron states may be provided in certain layers of the quantized layered structure with the incorporation of an impurity, such as, a donor or acceptor impurity or an isoelectronic impurity forming isoelectronic centers (IEC) in the indirect bandgap semiconductor material. Such an incorporation may be in each layer of the first and second materials or only in the alternate layers of the lower indirect bandgap material. Alternatively, the impurity may be in a predetermined periodic alternate of layers of the same indirect bandgap material, e.g., in one layer out of three, in alternate layers of a plurality of layers or in every n.sup.th layer or every n.sup.th group of layers where n may be any integer.

摘要： A heterostructure semiconductor laser emitting light in a direction vertical to the horizontal active layer has one or more internal reflectors for feedback. Angled reflectors, in the form of grooves etched at an angle exceeding the angle of total internal reflection through the layers, totally internally reflect light out of the laser. One or more of the following feedback constructions are used separately or in combination to provide low threshold current and frequency selection. Insulating windows may be put on the grooves. A periodic grating on a layer adjacent the active layer provides distributed feedback. A plurality of thin dielectric layers placed next to the active layer reflect light back into the active layer. Two parallel integral feedback facets crossing vertically through the active layer act as planar mirrors.
