  • Patent number: 7602831
    Abstract: A semiconductor laser device includes a substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, an active region formed on the second surface of the substrate, a cladding layer formed on the active region, and an insulation region formed in the cladding layer to form on the second surface of the substrate a first laser region having a first size and a second laser region having a second size different from the first size. The first laser region is used for generating a first optical spectrum having a first laser mode channel space. The second laser region is used for generating a second optical spectrum having a second laser mode channel space. A combination of the first optical spectrum and the second optical spectrum forms a single mode laser. Without any gratings, the semiconductor laser device is easy to be fabricated and has a low fabrication cost.

  • Patent number: 7212702
    Abstract: An optoelectric converting substrate includes a substrate, at least one honeycomb-shaped micro-structured optical waveguide embedded in the substrate and having two ends exposed through the substrate, a plurality of optoelectronic elements disposed on the substrate and coupled with the two ends of the honeycomb-shaped micro-structured optical waveguide, and a plurality of IC driving elements disposed on the substrate and electrically connected with the optoelectronic elements by conductive wires to drive the optoelectronic elements such that optical signals are transmitted through the honeycomb-shaped micro-structured optical waveguide. The optoelectric converting substrate can be easily fabricated at a low cost and effectively increases the displacement tolerance of the optoelectronic elements in substrate packaging.

  • Publication number: 20060038509
    Abstract: A system for the throughput detection and feedback of optical energy for making sure of white balance of the LED array in a flat fluorescent light source when the LED array in emitting light by respectively connecting in series a selected LED lamp respectively from RGB LED groups in an LED array to an optical energy sensor to convert optical energy into equivalent amperage, then voltage analog signals to digital signals for a CPU to compare and solve the difference of optical energy to improve voltage output, which then regulated by a driver and fed back to the LED array.
