Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for using a multimodal response in the dynamic generation of client device output that is tailored to a current modality of a client device is disclosed herein. Multimodal client devices can engage in a variety of interactions across the multimodal spectrum including voice only interactions, voice forward interactions, multimodal interactions, visual forward interactions, visual only interactions etc. A multimodal response can include a core message to be rendered for all interaction types as well as one or more modality dependent components to provide a user with additional information.

Abstract: A Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) including a light emitting III-nitride active region including quantum wells (QWs), wherein each of the quantum wells have a thickness of more than 8 nm, a cavity length of at least 7 ?, or at least 20 ?, where lambda is a peak wavelength of the light emitted from the active region, layers with reduced surface roughness, a tunnel junction intracavity contact. The VCSEL is flip chip bonded using In—Au bonding. This is the first report of a VCSEL capable of continuous wave operation.

Abstract: Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) configurations are disclosed. In a first example, the VCSEL includes a III-Nitride active region between a p-type III-Nitride layer and an n-type III-Nitride layer; and a curved minor on or above the p-type III-Nitride layer. The curved mirror can be formed in a III-Nitride layer or a Transparent Oxide (TO) material and enables the formation of a long VCSEL cavity that improves VCSEL lifetime, VCSEL output power, VCSEL power efficiency and VCSEL reliability. In a second example, the VCSEL has an active region with a high indium content. In a third example, the VCSEL is transparent.
