Abstract From the Canadian patent

A semiconductor laser is characterized in that the first upper portion cladding layer is of double layer construction, the upper layer portion being higher in carrier concentration than the lower layer portion. As a result the series resistance component is restrained and the sequential direction voltage can be lowered without damaging the other characteristics such as the, oscillation start current.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed January 23, 1990 and granted August 31, 1993. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended January 23, 2010.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by January 23, 2012.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
