Patent number: 6870870Abstract: The present invention relates to a ridge-stripe semiconductor laser device and a process for producing the same. More specifically, the object of the present invention is to control the formation of cavities at the side of the ridge without adding any step, and to provide a ridge stripe semiconductor laser device with good properties by strictly controlling its ridge width and a process for producing the same. Thereby, it is possible to form a ridge whose sidewalls stand almost vertically.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2002Date of Patent: March 22, 2005Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masahiko Sakata, Atsuo Tsunoda

Patent number: 6826218Abstract: For evaporating a protective coating on a light emitting end surface 51a of a laser chip 51, there is formed first an Si film 52a, which is free from generation of oxygen due to decomposition. Thus, there is created a coating in the vicinity of the light emitting end surface 51a immediately after start of evaporation process under conditions of low partial pressure of oxygen. At the same time, in the later evaporation process of the protective coating 52b, if oxygen is generated due to decomposition of the evaporation material Al2O3, and oxygen partial pressure is increased, collision or bonding of the oxygen with the end surface 51a is prevented, thereby decreasing damages given to the end surface 51a in the process of protective coating creation. Further, the Si film 52a has a film thickness as small as approx. 20 Å. This controls generation of leakage current in the Si film 52a (or the end surface 51a), and prevents negative influence on oscillation characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2001Date of Patent: November 30, 2004Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Noboru Oshima, Masahiko Sakata, Makoto Yokota

Patent number: 5594803Abstract: A silencing apparatus for effectively reducing noises in the three dimension space which detects physical characteristics of the noise source by the laser doppler sensor unit during the noise source comes close to the telephone booth, and collects acoustic characteristics of the noise source by the sensor microphone array. The control portion generates an inverse-phased signal against the noise source so that the noises are decreased at the error sensor, and stores the noise source information ( physical characteristics and the acoustic characteristics) and the generated inverse-phased signal. When the same noise source come closely, the voice is generated from the speaker using the inverse-phased signal stored in the memory. The control portion generates an inverse-phased voice from the speaker when the collected noise by the sensor microphone is actually over a certain threshold level.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 1995Date of Patent: January 14, 1997Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Susumu Fujiwara, Masahiko Sakata, Mikio Ishizuka
