  • Patent number: 6978057
    Abstract: A laser diode (1) having an optical path (15) defined in an active layer (2) which is sandwiched between a substrate layer (3) and a top layer (4) and defined by a ridge (14) formed in the top layer (4) outputs laser light of a single predetermined wavelength. Refractive index altering grooves (21) extending transversely in the top layer (4) are provided at spaced apart locations for altering the refractive index of the active layer (2) along the optical path at partial reflecting locations (20) for causing partial longitudinal reflections of the laser light generated in the optical path (15) so that standing waves or harmonics thereof of the single predetermined wavelength are set up between the respective partial reflecting locations (20) and a first mirror facet (8) in the optical path (15).

  • Patent number: 6804272
    Abstract: A semiconductor self-pulsating laser diode (1) comprises a wave guiding layer (2) sandwiched between lower and upper cladding layers (4, 5). A current blocking layer (8) defining a slot (10) through which pumping current is directed through the laser diode between upper and lower contact plates (5, 6) defines an active wave guiding region (15). The current blocking layer (8) is shaped by the formation of longitudinally extending recesses (12) for defining the active wave guiding region (15) such that a central pulse light generating region (17) is formed surrounded by an outer light propagating region (18). As the laser diode is continuously pumped, an effective step change in refractive index between the wave guiding layer (2) and the outer light propagating region (18) is formed, and the carrier density and refractive index profiles across the active wave guiding region (15) vary as each light pulse cycle progresses.

  • Patent number: 6638199
    Abstract: The invention relates to a collapsible structure device for practicing elastics-assisted trampoline, an activity called “acro-bungy”. It includes a central mast (4) along which can vertically move, while being actuated through mechanical means (43), with a possibility of being locked in the upper position, a slide (6) on which are fitted, through their one end (51), legs aimed at being unfolded on both sides of the mast (4), while passing above one or several trampolines, and to which elastics are fixed.
