Latest Patents

Taniguchi’s listed patent is titled “Semiconductor laser, method of mounting semiconductor laser, semiconductor laser mounted structure, and optical disk system.” It describes a semiconductor laser with grooves in the clad and contact layers that form a ridge, with an electrode positioned on the ridge. An insulation film covers the ridge’s sides, the grooves, and areas of the contact layer outside the grooves. The film is thicker in those outer areas than the electrode, while a pad electrode covers the electrode and extends over the insulation film. This arrangement places the outer portions of the pad electrode above the portion over the ridge.
