  • Publication number: 20230299559
    Abstract: [Object] To provide a vertical cavity surface emitting laser element that has excellent producibility and is suitable for high output and a method of producing the vertical cavity surface emitting laser element. [Solving Means] A vertical cavity surface emitting laser element according to the present technology includes: a first DBR; a second BR; an active layer; and a tunnel junction layer. The first DBR reflects light of a specific wavelength. The second DBR reflects light of the wavelength. The active layer is disposed between the first DBR and the second DBR. The tunnel junction layer is disposed between the first DBR and the active layer and forms a tunnel junction.

  • Patent number: 5797255
    Abstract: A bobbin changing apparatus for a flyer frame which allows works to freely be performed by attendants at a front side of the flyer frame at any time during the operation of the flyer frame, while eliminating need for providing independent rails for transporting full bobbins and empty bobbins, respectively. Disposed at a front side of a flyer frame (2) is a work platform (35) on which the number of pegs (49) which is twice as large as that of bobbin wheels are mounted with a pitch equal to a half of that of the bobbin wheels (4). Each of the pegs (49) can selectively be disposed at an operative position on a top surface of a cover plate (41) and to a retracted position retracted from the top surface. Further, the pegs can be driven reciprocatively over a distance corresponding to one pitch of the peg array.
