The axis of light propagation is substantially perpendicular to the mirror facets of the diode laser, and the optical polarization direction is determined by the crystallographic orientation of the diode laser. To maximize optical gain, the axis of light propagation is oriented substantially perpendicular to the optical polarization direction or crystallographic orientation.

Semiconductor light-emitting device
In a semiconductor laser having an active layer of double-quantum-well structure that includes two InGaN well layers each of which has a thickness of 5 nm, a threshold current deteriorates to a relatively small degree while differential efficiency is improved considerably in a region having a light confinement coefficient Γ of 3.0% or less. On the other hand, with the light confinement coefficient Γ becoming less than 1.5%, the threshold current increases considerably while the amount of improvement in differential efficiency becomes small. It is therefore preferable that the lowest limit to the light confinement coefficient Γ be about 1.5%. The differential efficiency of 1.6 W / A or more is obtained with the light confinement coefficient Γ being 3.0% or less, and the differential efficiency of 1.7 W / A or more is obtained with the light confinement coefficient Γ being 2.6% or less.

InactiveUS20050117623A1Optical wave guidanceLaser optical resonator constructionOptical cavityResonance
A novel class of optoelectronic devices incorporate an interference filter. The filter includes at least two optical cavities. Each of the cavities localizes al least one optical mode. The optical modes localized at two cavities are at resonance only at one or at a few discrete selective wavelengths. At resonance, the optical eigenmodes contain one mode having a zero intensity at a node position between the two cavities, where this position shifts as a function of the wavelength. A non-transparent element, which is preferably an absorbing element, a scatterer, or a reflector, is placed between two cavities. At a discrete selective wavelength, when the node of the optical mode matches with the non-transparent element, the filter is transparent for light. At other wavelengths, the filter is not transparent for light. This allows for the construction of various optoelectronic devices showing a strongly wavelength-selective operation.
