  • Publication number: 20230402815
    Abstract: A light emitting device includes a semiconductor structure comprising an n-type layer, an active region, and a p-type layer, first and second electrical contacts on the n-type layer and the p-type layer, respectively, and an integrated fuse structure in or on the semiconductor structure. The integrated fuse structure is electrically coupled in series between the first and second electrical contacts, and is actuatable to provide an electrically open state between the first and second electrical contacts responsive to a control signal. Related emitter arrays, methods of fabrication, and methods of operation are also discussed.

  • Publication number: 20200300978
    Abstract: A LIDAR system includes a detector array comprising a first detector region and a second detector region, wherein the first detector region comprises a first detector and the second detector region comprises a second detector, at least one optical element configured to separate light received at the at least one optical element into a first portion and a second portion, incident on the first detector and the second detector, respectively, wherein the at least one optical element is configured to alter a characteristic of the light, and a circuit configured to receive a first detection signal from the first detector responsive to the first portion of the light that is incident thereon and a second detection signal from the second detector responsive to the second portion of the light that is incident thereon, and to generate an improved signal based on the first and second detection signals.

  • Patent number: 9494032
    Abstract: A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag can include a die attached to an inductive-capacitive (LC) circuit including a capacitive element coupled to an inductive element. The LC circuit can have a resonant frequency that varies according to properties of fluid proximate the RFID tag. The RFID tag can further include a coating material disposed around the die to form an outer surface of the RFID tag. The coating material may have a thickness over a portion of the LC circuit, to permit a conductivity property of a fluid proximate the outer surface to affect the resonant frequency of the LC circuit such that the resonant frequency shifts to a second resonant frequency. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
