| 20110058250 | HIGH POWER FIBER AMPLIFIER WITH STABLE OUTPUT - A stable, single mode fiber amplifier is described. The amplifier consists of a seed source, a passive single clad multimode fiber, an active double clad multimode fiber or a multimode fiber horn and a semiconductor laser pump source. The passive fiber is packaged on a mandrel with a compound radius of curvature such that high order modes in the fiber are stripped from the core leaving only the fundamental mode. This fiber is then spliced to a multimode active fiber of similar core diameter. By exciting only the fundamental mode of this active fiber, stable single mode amplification is achieved. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20090168826 | Semiconductor lasers utilizing optimized n-side and p-side junctions - A semiconductor laser and a method of forming the same are provided. The n-side and p-side junctions are independently optimized to improve carrier flow. The material for the n-side cladding layer is selected to yield a small conduction to valance band gap offset ratio while the material for the p-side cladding layer is selected to yield a large conduction to valance band gap offset ratio. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20090103580 | Vertically displaced stack of multi-mode single emitter laser diodes - An optical source comprised of a stack of at least two laser diode subassemblies is provided. Each laser diode subassembly includes a submount and a multi-mode, single emitter laser diode. Each of the at least two laser diode subassemblies is mounted to a stepped mounting member such that the output beams from the at least two laser diode subassemblies are vertically displaced along the z-axis, horizontally displaced along the y-axis, and not horizontally displaced along the x-axis. | 04-23-2009 |
