Abstract
A self-monitoring light source is provided. The self-monitoring light source includes a light source that generates light and a light monitor that receives a portion of the generated light. The light source and the light monitor are manufactured on the same semiconductor die.
Claims23
A self-monitoring light source comprising:
- a light source that generates light;
- a light monitor that receives a portion of the generated light and based thereon generates a feedback signal;
- wherein the light source and the light monitor are manufactured on the same semiconductor die.
A self-monitoring light emitting apparatus comprising:
- a vertical emitting light source that generates light;
- wherein the vertical emitting light source is formed in a light source die;
- a monitor that receives a portion of the generated light;
- wherein the monitor is formed in a monitor die;
- wherein the light source die and the monitor die are combined into a single sub-assembly.
2 more elements
A light emitting apparatus comprising:
- a light source that is formed in a light source die and that generates light;
- wherein the light source die includes a surface;
- and
- an optical element that is formed in the surface of the light source die and that selectively transmits a portion of the generated light and reflects a portion of the generated light.
1 more element
