PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical coupling device in which an processing error produced at the time of processing an optical waveguide to expose a core end part thereof is not contained in an alignment error of the optical waveguide core end part and other optical components, and to provide an optical waveguide permitting to manufacture such an optical coupling device. SOLUTION: The optical waveguide 1 is a united body of clads 2, 4 and a core 3 as a light guide. An end face 6 of the optical waveguide 1 is formed into a reflecting surface inclined at about 45 degrees by dicing processing, and the optical waveguide 1 is optically coupled to an optical element 26 via reflection by the inclined end face 6. By similar dicing processing, a V-groove 8 for a position alignment marker is formed at a position a predetermined distance 9 off the upper end 7 of the inclined end face 6 of the optical waveguide 1 upper part, and the optical waveguide 1 is accurately positioned to a supporting body 11 by concavo-convex engagement using the V-groove 8. The supporting body 11 is provided with a means for position alignment with a mounting substrate mounted with the optical element 26 at the position a predetermined distance off the concavo-concave engagement position.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inexpensive semiconductor light emitting device manufactured by a simple manufacturing process. SOLUTION: The semiconductor light emitting device 10 comprises an n-type semiconductor 12, an active layer 13, and a p-type semiconductor 14 while the active layer 13 is constituted so as to be pinched between the n-type semiconductor 12 and the p-type semiconductor 14. Emission center ion 18 and a quantum dot 19 are contained in the active layer 13 and when a voltage is impressed on the semiconductor light emitting device 10 through ohmic electrodes (11, 15), energy is moved to the emission center ion 18 by FRET to excite the emission center ion 18. Thereafter, the energy level of the emission center ion 18 is changed to an emission level and, further, is changed to a normal energy level. In this case, the emission center ion 18 emits light of a predetermined visible wavelength. The emission center ion 18 is selected from rare earth metallic ion, transition metallic ion or the like so as to emit the light of such a visible wavelength. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for vapor deposition, which can form a deposited film having a uniform thickness and a high purity, e.g. an amorphous organic compound film or a multicomponent-codeposited film having a smooth surface, and keep a utilization efficiency of an evaporation material and a film-forming rate high by minimizing deposition of a depositing substance in a vacuum chamber, and an apparatus therefor. SOLUTION: A substrate 3 and an evaporation source 5 are placed so as to face each other in the vacuum chamber 1. Around the evaporation source 5, an introductory part 11 for a gas 15 is disposed to form a gas flow 10 which flows from the circumference of the evaporation source 5 toward the substrate 3. The gas flow 10 controls the scattering direction 9 of vapor molecules of the depositing substance emitted from the evaporation source 5 toward the substrate 3. A peripheral wall of a vessel 5b containing the depositing substance 5a is formed in a protruding manner, and the temperature of the protruding part 18 of the peripheral wall is controlled to a temperature preventing deposition of the depositing substance 5a, so that the protruding part 18 functions as a barrier or a guide for leading the vapor molecules toward the substrate 3.

Oil whose temperature is set to the prescribed one by an oil heating circulation device 517 is made to flow from an oil inflow port 515 into the oil flow passage 514, and is made to flow out from an oil outflow port 516. By the oil, the internal pipe 511 is heated, and the gas passing through the gas flow passage 512 is also uniformly heated to a prescribed temperature. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
