专利汇可以提供Integrated optically coupled light emitter and sensor专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且An optically coupled light emitting diode and photo detector is disclosed, which includes an isolation region made from the same semiconductor material as the light emitting diode and photo detector. The structure involved consists basically of four semiconductor regions, one pair of which is separated from another pair by a semiconductor isolation region. The isolation region is of the same semiconductor material as the pairs of semiconductor regions which form a light emitting diode and a photo detector. By using an isolation region of the same semiconductor material as that of the light emitting diode and the photo diode, an integrated device is provided which eliminates index of refraction and lattice constant mismatches between the light emitter and optical detector. The integrated device is fabricated from a single semiconductor material gallium aluminum arsenide and is fabricated using well known liquid phase or other epitaxial growth techniques. The resulting structure is completely symmetrical and has the unusual feature that it can be operated bidirectionally, i.e., the light emitting and photo detecting functions are completely interchangeable.,下面是Integrated optically coupled light emitter and sensor专利的具体信息内容。
