| 20090154508 | LIGHT-GENERATING APPARATUS WITH BROADBAND PUMPING LASER AND QUASI-PHASE MATCHING WAVEGUIDE - A light-generating apparatus comprises a broadband pumping laser configured to emit a broadband pumping light having a bandwidth larger than 10 nanometers and a broadband wavelength-converting device. The broadband wavelength-converting device includes a domain-inverted structure configured to convert the broadband pumping light into at least one conversion light by using at least a sum frequency generation mechanism and at least one waveguide positioned in the domain-inverted structure, and the waveguide has an input end configured to receive the broadband pumping light and an output end configured to output the conversion light. Since the light-generating apparatus uses the broadband pumping laser and the broadband wavelength-converting device, it is temperature-insensitive and speckle-free. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090080063 | ARRAY WAVEGUIDE AND LIGHT SOURCE USING THE SAME - A light source comprises a light-emitting module configured to emit a first beam and an array waveguide configured to convert the first beam into a second beam. The light-emitting module includes a plurality of light-emitting units configured to emit the first beam, and the light-emitting units are positioned in an array manner. The array waveguide includes a ferroelectric crystal with a first polarization direction, a plurality of inverted domains positioned in the ferroelectric crystal and a plurality of wavelength-converting waveguides positioned in the ferroelectric crystal. The inverted domains have a second polarization direction substantially opposite to the first polarization direction, the wavelength-converting waveguides cross the inverted domains substantially in a perpendicular manner, and the inverted domains are configured to convert the first beam from the light-emitting module into second beam as the first beams propagate through the wavelength-converting waveguides. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090080062 | METHOD FOR PREPARING A POLED STRUCTURE BY USING DOUBLE-SIDED ELECTRODES - A method for preparing a poled structure by using double-sided electrodes to perform a poling process first provides a ferroelectric substrate with a first polarization direction having a top surface and a bottom surface. Fabrication processes are then performed to form an electrode structure including a first electrode and a second electrode on the top surface and a third electrode in a portion of the bottom surface between the first electrode and the second electrode. Subsequently, a poling process is performed on the electrode structure to form a plurality of inverted domains having a second polarization direction in the ferroelectric substrate, and the second polarization direction is substantially opposite to the first polarization direction. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20080218846 | Method For Preparing A Periodically Poled Structure - A method for preparing a periodically poled structure according to this aspect of the present invention comprises the steps of providing a ferroelectric substrate and performing a poling process by applying a poling current to at least one portion of the ferroelectric substrate according to a current waveform. The current waveform include a major phase and a tailed phase accompanying the major phase; the major phase has at least one peak current (Ip) and terminates when the current drops substantially equal to Ip/e, and the charge delivered to the portion of the ferroelectric substrate during the major phase is larger than that delivered during the tailed phase. The nucleation phase is configured to generate nucleation sites in the portion of the ferroelectric substrate and the spreading phase is configured to increase the size of the nucleation sites. | 09-11-2008 |
