  • Patent number: 6570896
    Abstract: A laser radiation source is provided with an array of N individual slave laser diodes in a predetermined surface area. Adjustable power supply networks enable adjustment of the slave laser diodes relative to one another for operation in a stable manner. The slave power supply has a separate power supply network for each slave laser diode. Each of the power supply networks can be adjusted with respect to the current supplied to the respective slave laser diode during a certain operating period. This enables adjusting the slave laser diodes relative to one another. The power supply networks can be connected in parallel and supplied by a common source.

  • Publication number: 20030025170
    Abstract: A surface-mountable light emitting diode structural element in which an optoelectronic chip is attached to a chip carrier part of a lead frame, is described. The lead frame has a connection part disposed at a distance from the chip carrier part, and which is electrically conductively connected with an electrical contact of the optoelectronic chip. The chip carrier part presents a number of external connections for improved conduction of heat away from the chip. The external connections project from a casing and at a distance from each other.

  • Patent number: 6504179
    Abstract: A white-emitting luminescence conversion LED uses a chlorosilicate phosphor which, in addition to Ca and Mg, contains a europium doping, and also a garnet phosphor of the rare earths, in particular Y and/or Tb. In this way, it is possible to achieve a high color rendering and a high constancy of the lighting properties under differing temperature conditions.

  • Patent number: 6475819
    Abstract: A method for the production and formation of microscopic semiconductor light emitting diodes Is set out. The method comprises the steps of: producing a semiconductor light emitting device (100) including a pn-junction (24) and metallization layers (6, 7); applying an etching mask (9-11) with a preset structure on one side of the semiconductor device (100), whereby the masked areas of the arrangement form and correspond to the diodes to be formed (30); applying a carrier (8, 12) on the other side of the semiconductor device (100); vertically etching the semiconductor material in the openings of the etching mask (9-11) to the carrier (8, 12) and thereby producing a diode arrangement containing a multiple number of diodes (30) below the masked areas.

  • Publication number: 20020000514
    Abstract: A method for a quantitative detection of a linear movement or rotary movement. The method includes the steps of emitting radiation from at least two light emitters in a pulsed mode at a same clock frequency or different clock frequencies and detecting the radiation from the two light emitters by a detection device. It furthermore includes the steps of increasingly shadowing the radiations by a movable grid device or separating signals originating from different light emitters by an evaluation circuit coupled to said detection device.

  • Publication number: 20010030326
    Abstract: The light-radiating semiconductor component has a radiation-emitting semiconductor body and a luminescence conversion element. The semiconductor body emits radiation in the ultraviolet, blue and/or green spectral region and the luminescence conversation element converts a portion of the radiation into radiation of a longer wavelength. This makes it possible to produce light-emitting diodes which radiate polychromatic light, in particular white light, with only a single light-emitting semiconductor body. A particularly preferred luminescence conversion dye is YAG:Ce.
