Patent number: 10581223Abstract: A structure of distributed feedback (DFB) laser includes a grating layer having a phase-shift grating structure and a gratingless area. In addition, both side-surfaces of the DFB laser are coated with anti-reflection coating to improve SMSR and to obtain good slope efficiency (SE). The grating layer is divided by the phase-shift grating structure in a horizontal direction into a first grating area and a second grating area adjacent to a laser-out surface of the DFB laser. The phase-shift grating structure provides a phase-difference distance, such that a shift of phase exists between the micro-grating structures located within the first grating area and the other micro-grating structures located within the second grating area. The gratingless area located within the second grating area contains no micro-grating structure, and moreover, the gratingless area will not change the phase of the micro-grating structures located within the second grating area.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2018Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: TrueLight CorporationInventors: Chien Hung Pan, Cheng Zu Wu

Patent number: 10522974Abstract: An edge-emitting laser having a small vertical emitting angle includes an upper cladding layer, a lower cladding layer and an active region layer sandwiched between the upper and lower cladding layers. By embedding a passive waveguide layer within the lower cladding to layer, an extended lower cladding layer is formed between the passive waveguide layer and the active region layer. In addition, the refractive index (referred as n-value) of the passive waveguide layer is larger than the n-value of the extended lower cladding layer. The passive waveguide layer with a larger n-value would guide the light field to extend downward. The extended lower cladding layer can separate the passive waveguide layer and the active region layer and thus expand the near-field distribution of laser light field in the resonant cavity, so as to obtain a smaller vertical emitting angle in the far-field laser light field.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2018Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: TrueLight CorporationInventors: Chien Hung Pan, Cheng-Ju Wu

Publication number: 20190081455Abstract: A packaging assembly for a high-speed vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) mainly applies a lens assembly consisted of several prisms to split a laser beam emitted by a VCSEL element so as to guide a small portion of the laser beam back to a monitor photodiode (MPD) and the rest of the laser beam to travel away along an optical axis. Such a spectacular design of the lens assembly can not only relieve the VCSEL element from a position right under the optical axis, but can also reduce signal loss by shorting a length of a bonding wire for a corresponding pin through disposing the VCSEL element further close to the corresponding pin. Thereupon, a defect of lights reflected from a lens or a translucent plate on a cap can be substantially improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2017Publication date: March 14, 2019Applicant: TRUELIGHT CORPORATIONInventors: TZU-CHING YEH, YU-FU WU, CHENG-TA CHEN

Patent number: 10122152Abstract: A vertical-cavity surface-emitting Laser (VCSEL) has a three-trench structure. By forming a first trench within a mesa around the periphery of an output window of the VCSEL, the overall capacitance is decreased and the time used in the oxidation process for an oxidation layer is shortened. By forming a second trench and a third trench on the periphery of the mesa in a step-like concave manner, the mesa becomes a step-like structure having double mesa-layers. Such that, a larger heat-radiating area can be obtained for decreasing thermal effects, while the metal-gap defects of the metal layer can also be avoided. The implant layer is formed around the periphery of the output window for controlling the optical mode and confining the current path. In addition, an output layer is formed on the output window for controlling the output light.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2018Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: TrueLight CorporationInventors: Bing-Cheng Lin, Chih Cheng Chen, Hung-Wei Tseng
