  • Publication number: 20240388066
    Abstract: A surface emitting laser chip includes a first light emitting surface, a second light emitting surface, and a front electrode. The first light emitting surface and the second light emitting surface are formed on a first chip front surface and configured to emit laser light. The front electrode is formed on the first chip front surface and formed at a position separated from each of the first light emitting surface and the second light emitting surface. In plan view, the first light emitting surface and the second light emitting surface are arranged to be separated from each other in an X direction. The surface electrode is arranged between the first light emitting surface and the second light emitting surface in the X direction.

    Abstract: A semiconductor light emitting device includes a surface emitting laser chip, a light receiving chip, a sealing member, and a reflecting portion. The surface emitting laser chip has a light emitting surface and emits laser light from the light emitting surface. The sealing member is formed of a material through which the laser light can pass and seals the surface emitting laser chip and the light receiving chip. The reflecting portion is provided in the sealing member and reflects a part of the laser light toward the light receiving chip. The light receiving chip is arranged at a position where the light receiving chip receives at least a part of reflected light by the reflecting portion.

  • Publication number: 20220190556
    Abstract: A semiconductor light emitting device includes a substrate, a common conductive portion formed on the substrate, a semiconductor light emitting element mounted on the common conductive portion, and an electronic component mounted on the common conductive portion and electrically connected to the semiconductor light emitting element by the common conductive portion. This structure shortens the conductive path between the semiconductor light emitting element and the electronic component, thereby reducing capacitance caused by the conductive path between the semiconductor light emitting element and the electronic component. Thus, while reducing parasitic capacitance, the semiconductor light emitting element and the electronic component are electrically connected.

  • Patent number: 8928955
    Abstract: A linear light source device illuminates a document properly, and an image reading device includes such a light source device. The light source device includes a light source and a light-guiding member. The light-guiding member introduces the light emitted from the light source from one end portion in x-direction, cause the light to travel in x-direction, and emits the light from a light exit portion at one end in z-direction, which is orthogonal to x-direction. The light-guiding member includes, at the other end in z-direction, a light-reflecting portion that reflects light to the light exit portion. One end face of the light-guiding member in y-direction, which is orthogonal to x- and z-directions, is inclined so as to become closer to the other end face in y-direction with decreasing distance from the light exit portion in z-direction. This allows light to easily travel to the light-reflecting portion.
