  • Patent number: 6037604
    Abstract: A InGaSb/GaSb strained-layer superlattices infrared photodetector in which the light-hole and heavy-hole are dispersed by the stress of the lattice mismatch, making the confined energy of the light hole and that of the heavy hole different. The wave function coupling of 1C-1HH is larger at near zero bias, thus the 1C-1HH is dominant. The wave function coupling of 1C-1LH is increased as reverse bias increases. When the reverse bias is high enough, the 1C-1HH transition becomes dominant. Because the transition energy of 1C-1HH and that of 1C-1LH are different, the modes of photodetector can be modulated by applying voltage.

  • Patent number: 6005259
    Abstract: The invention concerns an InAs/GaSb superlattice infrared detector that is prepared on a GaSb or a GaAs substrate by low pressure organometaleic chemical vapor deposition. The thickness of well and barrier modulated in the superlattice is used to control the wavelength of absorption. As the superlattice is sandwiched by the Si-doped InAs layer, the wavelength of absorption is in the 8.about.14 .mu.m range. As the superlattice is sandwiched by the Zn-doped GaSb layer, the wavelength of absorption is in the 3.about.5 .mu.m range.

  • Patent number: 5923689
    Abstract: This invention is a new type of GaInP/AlGaInP for a visible separate-confinement-heterostructure strained quantum well(SCH-S-QW) laser with passive wave guides in the cladding layers. By using this structure, we can significantly improve the transverse beam divergence with only a slight increase of the threshold current. With proper choice of parameters, the transverse beam divergence as narrow as 18.degree.. FWHM can be achieved while the threshold current only becomes 1.12 factor than the lasers without the passive waveguide structure. This type of structure has three advantages:(1) It increases the spectrum dissolution rate between the laser and its optic element to increase the efficiency in actual operation.(2) Smaller oval ratio makes the light beams appears circular, and avoids the problem of non-paralleled focusing in optical instruments. It also eliminates cumbersome non-paralleled focusing in traditional GaInP/AlGaInP, and is more cost efficient.
