Abstract: Method and intelligent subscriber management unit for enabling voice and text data service from a public communication network (7) to a mobile subscriber device (1). Authenticating the mobile subscriber device (1) is achieved using a home location register (8) and/or authentication center (9), while the mobile subscriber device (1) is in reach of an access point (2) of a data network (3). A challenge response is received from a subscriber identity module (SIM) of the mobile subscriber device (1), and includes the international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI (16)). The IMSI (16) is stored in a visitor location register (17) which is attached to the home location register (8). Then conversion of voice and text data service is executed between a first data format suitable for the public communication network (7) and a second data format suitable for the data network (3).

Abstract: A semiconductor laser having a buried hetero junction, more particularly a DCPBH laser, in which the active layer (3) is located in a "mesa", which is laterally bounded by a boundary region comprising at least one blocking layer (6) having a larger band gap than the active layer. The boundary region includes an absorption layer (13) having a smaller band gap than the active layer, this absorption layer being located at such a small lateral distance from the active layer that it lies within the amplification profile of the first-order lateral oscillation mode. As a result, the first and higher oscillation modes as well as the thyristor effect are suppressed.
