Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable conducting a laser oscillation operation at high temperature by a method wherein an active region is comprised of a wave function amplitude increasing structure, with which the amplitude of wave function is increased on the barrier layer arranged between a quantum well and an I/R region. SOLUTION: The first region comprises a quantum well(QW), the first one has the second and the third energy state of charge carrier. The third energy state is higher than the second energy state, and the second and third wave functions of charge carrier is accomplished. The wave function is selected in such a manner that electrons undergo the emission transition from the third energy state to the second energy state is received while a QC laser is in operation. The first active region has a wave function increasing structure with which the amplitude of the third wave function in the first barrier arranged between the first QW and the I/R region on the upstream side of directly above the first active region is increased. As a result, a QC laser, with which a laser can be oscillated at high temperature, can be obtained.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a QC(quantum cascade) laser, which operates at a temperature higher than or equal to a ultra-low temperature, performs single-mode laser radiation, and makes continuous modulations possible over a wide wavelength region. SOLUTION: A quantum cascade laser 10 is provided with a first clad region 11, a second clad region 13, a core region 12 arranged between the regions 11 and 13, electrical contacts 14, 15 for making a current flow in a laser, and a grating structure 16 for giving dispersion feedback. A grating structure 16 is so isolated from the core region such that electromagnetic radiation in a confined laser mode has intensity which is non-zero in the grating structure 16. The grating structure 16 is constituted so as to perform single-mode laser radiation.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new type of QC(quantum cascade) laser. SOLUTION: A QC laser has first and second clad layers and a core region between the clad layers. The core region has a plurality of nearly equal multilayer semiconductor repeated units 11, and each repeated unit has an active region 12 and a carrier injection region 13. The active region has an superlattice region with an upper mini band 171 and a lower mini band 161, and a mini gap is formed between the upper mini band and the lower mini band. A carrier injection region is selected, so that carriers can be phase-shifted easily from the lower mini band of a certain repetition unit to the upper mini band of repetition unit at an adjacent downstream side. The active region is selected so that the wavelength ranges from 3 to 15μm.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To offer an article comprising QC-DFB laser. SOLUTION: In the QC-DFB laser, an overlying grating structure achieves relatively strong coupling of the guided mode to the grating. The grating structure includes grooves etched in a plasmon-enhanced confinement layer(PECL) disposed adjacent and in contact with an upper metallic electrode. The grating structure and the PECL are designed such that in the grooves, the laser mode travelling in the waveguide can couple efficiently to the surface-plasmon at the electrode interface. This results in strong modulation of the laser mode, leading to strong modulation of, inter alia, effective refractive index.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a gate oxide/semiconductor to be reduced in interface state density and kept low in state density by a method, wherein an oxide dielectric material layer is deposited on the primary surface of a GaAs semiconductor. SOLUTION: Elements are selected to be implanted for the formation of a P-MOSFET 180 and an N-MOSFET 188. An N-type region 183 is formed by implanting Si or S ions by a dielectric layer 182 in a region of a wafer which is demarcated by the use of a photoresist. After the photoresist is removed, a new mask used for implantation to a channel contact is prepared, and an N+-channel contact is formed. A P+ source 195 and a P+ drain 186 are formed, and a source 187 and a drain region 189 are formed. With this setup, a gate oxide/GaAs semiconductor is lowered in the interface state density and can be kept low in state density through a subsequent process.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to modulate a laser in an electric field in an IR intermediate wavelength range by a method wherein an active region is provided with a plurality of repetition units consisting of a plurality of layers, the laser oscillation transition of the laser is turned into the non-resonance tunneling transition of charge carries from a first quantum state to a second quantum state and the frequency of photons is set as the function of an electric bias. SOLUTION: In an article, which comprises a laser having first and second contacts to apply an electric bias to a semiconductor structure comprising an active region 12, the region 12 has a plurality of the same repetition units consisting of a plurality of layers in the directions intersecting orthogonal the contacts and is selected so that a laser oscillation transition of the laser is a non-resonance tunneling transition of charge carriers from a first quantum state to a second quantum state. This transition is achieved by radiation of photons of an hν of energy. Here, the (h) is the constant of a plank and the (ν) is the frequency of the photons. This frequency of the photons is the function of the electric bias, which is applied to the semiconductor structure, and the laser can be modulated in an electric field in an IR intermediate wavelength range.

Abstract: A surface plasmon laser structure is formed to include a DFB structure as t he metal carrying layer, thus forming a single mode surface plasmon laser. The DFB structure comprises a multiple layer metallic surface guiding structure (for example, titanium stripes covered with a layer of gold, forming alternating Ti/Au - A u stripes). The active region, in one embodiment, may comprise a quantum cascade structure.

Abstract: The RT regions of an ISB light emitter comprise pre-biased SLs and a multiplicity of split quantum wells (SPQWs). A SPQW is a quantum well that i s divided into a multiplicity of sub-wells by a first barrier layer sufficiently thin that the upper and lower energy states are split beyond their natural broadening and contribute to different minibands in each RT region. In contrast, adjacent SPQWs are coupled to one another by second barrier layers. The thicknesses of the latter layers are chosen so that minibands are created across each RT region. In one embodiment, the emitter includes an I/R region between adjacent RT regions, and in another embodiment the I/R regions are omitted.
