  • Patent number: 10777969
    Abstract: An in-plane-emitting semiconductor diode laser employs a surface-trapped optical mode existing at a boundary between a distributed Bragg reflector and a homogeneous medium, dielectric or air. The device can operate in both TM-polarized and TE-polarized modes. The mode exhibits an oscillatory decay in the DBR away from the surface and an evanescent decay in the dielectric or in the air. The active region is preferably placed in the top part of the DBR close to the surface. The mode behavior strongly depends on the wavelength of light, upon increase of the wavelength the mode becomes more and more extended into the homogeneous medium, the optical confinement factor of the mode in the active region drops until the surface-trapped mode vanishes. Upon a decrease of the wavelength, the leakage loss of the mode into the substrate increases. Thus, there is an optimum wavelength, at which the laser threshold current density is minimum, and at which the lasing starts.

    Abstract: An optical structure has a cavity (1) with an opening provided at one end and a first through hole or first gap (21) provided at the end opposite the opening. The cavity is further provided internally with a beam splitter or a dichroic mirror (4). A first LED (31) emits light into the cavity through the first through hole or the first gap, which passes directly passing through the beam splitter or dichroic mirror and exits from the opening of the cavity A second LED (32) emits light into the cavity through a second through hole or second gap (22) in a side of the cavity, which is reflected by the beam splitter or dichroic mirror. It is then fused with the light emitted by the first LED. The light emitted by the respective LEDs have an identical optical path length to the beam splitter or the dichroic mirror.
