Laser irradiation apparatus, laser irradiation method, and method for manufacturing a semiconductor device

YAG laser can simultaneously emit a plurality of laser beams having different wavelengths from each other. By simultaneously irradiating the laser beams having different wavelengths from each other to a same region of a non-single crystal semiconductor film, an interference influence is suppressed to obtain a more uniform laser beam. For example, by simultaneously generating second and third harmonics of YAG laser to irradiate the same region through suitable optical system, a laser beam having higher uniformity and having an energy in which interference is highly suppressed is obtained.

Intracavity frequency-tripled CW laser

A method of intracavity frequency conversion in a CW laser includes causing fundamental radiation to circulate in a laser resonator. The fundamental radiation makes a first pass through an optically nonlinear crystal where a fraction of the fundamental radiation generates second-harmonic radiation in a forward pass through the crystal. The residual fundamental radiation and the second-harmonic radiation are then sum-frequency mixed in forward and reverse passes through an optically nonlinear crystal such that a fraction of each is converted to third-harmonic radiation. The residual second-harmonic radiation and fundamental radiation from the sum-frequency mixing then make a reverse pass through the second-harmonic generating crystal where the second-harmonic radiation is converted back to fundamental radiation. The third harmonic radiation can be delivered from the resonator as output radiation, or can be used to pump another optically nonlinear crystal in an optical parametric oscillator. Second-harmonic radiation can also be used to pump an optical parametric oscillator.

60 GHz Frequency Generator Incorporating Third Harmonic Boost And Extraction

A novel and useful 60 GHz frequency generator based on a third harmonic extraction technique which improves system level efficiency and performance. The frequency generator employs a third harmonic boosting technique to increase the third harmonic at the output of the oscillator. The oscillator generates both ˜20 GHz fundamental and a significant amount of the third harmonic at ˜60 GHz and avoids the need for a frequency divider operating at 60 GHz. The undesired fundamental harmonic at ˜20 GHz is rejected by the good fundamental HRR inherent in the oscillator buffer stage while the ˜60 GHz component is amplified to the output. The fundamental harmonic is further suppressed by an active cancellation by properly combining the two outputs. The oscillator fabricated in 40 nm CMOS exhibits a phase noise of −100 dBc / Hz at 1 MHz offset from a 60 GHz carrier and have a tuning range of 25%.

Energy stabilization of combined pulses from multiple lasers

A combined radiation pulse of a predetermined energy is provided by temporally and spatially overlapping four pulses from four extra-cavity, frequency-tripled lasers. Frequency tripling is effected in each laser by a second-harmonic generating crystal followed by a third-harmonic generating crystal. One of the lasers includes a Pockels cell preceding the second-harmonic generating crystal. The third harmonic pulse from this laser is the fourth and last delivered in the sequence. The total available energy in three of the pulses is less than the predetermined energy. The cumulative integrated energy of the pulses is determined while the pulses are being delivered. When the energy is determined to have reached the predetermined value, the Pockels cell is activated to rotate the polarization plane of fundamental radiation entering the second-harmonic generating crystal, thereby terminating generation of the fourth pulse and delivering the combined radiation pulse at the predetermined energy.

A novel and useful oscillator topology demonstrating an improved phase noise performance that exploits the time-variant phase noise model with insights into the phase noise conversion mechanisms. The oscillator is based on enforcing a pseudo-square voltage waveform around an LC tank by increasing the third-harmonic of the fundamental oscillation voltage through an additional impedance peak. Alternatively, the oscillator is based on enforcing clipped oscillation waveform by increasing the second harmonic of the fundamental oscillation voltage through an additional impedance peak. This auxiliary impedance peak is realized by a transformer with moderately coupled resonating windings. As a result, the effective impulse sensitivity function (ISF) decreases thus reducing the oscillator's effective noise factor such that a significant improvement in the oscillator phase noise and power efficiency are achieved.

Power amplifying apparatus and radio communications apparatus using same

By extracting a portion of RF signals from an input side of a multistage RF amplifier with a detector, and converting extracted signals into envelope signals, low-frequency second-harmonic distortion components are efficiently extracted. Then, the extracted low-frequency second-harmonic distortion components are amplified with a low-frequency amplifier, and phase adjusted with a phase shifter, after which they are injected into a gate or base bias of the final stage of the multistage RF amplifier. As a result, the low-frequency second-harmonic distortion components are converted into third-harmonic distortion due to the non-linearity of transistors, and the third-harmonic distortion thus obtained cancels out the third-harmonic distortion originally present in the multistage RF amplifier.
