==LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE INCLUDING LIGHT-TRANSMISSIVE MEMBER AND LENS MEMBER - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18517409 titled 'LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE INCLUDING LIGHT-TRANSMISSIVE MEMBER AND LENS MEMBER

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a light emitting device that includes a semiconductor laser element, a base member, a light-transmissive member made of sapphire, and a lens member.

* The light emitting device includes at least one semiconductor laser element.
* The device has a base member where the semiconductor laser element is placed.
* A light-transmissive member made of sapphire allows laser light to pass from the lower surface to the upper surface.
* A lens member, fixed to the base member or the light-transmissive member, helps transmit the laser light.
* The incident surface on the light-transmissive member is an a-plane of the sapphire.

== Potential Applications ==
The technology can be used in:
* Laser cutting and engraving machines
* Medical devices for surgery
* High-speed data communication systems

== Problems Solved ==
* Improved transmission of laser light
* Enhanced durability and heat resistance due to the sapphire material

== Benefits ==
* Higher efficiency in light transmission
* Longer lifespan of the device
* Better performance in high-temperature environments

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Optimizing Light Transmission with Sapphire Light-Emitting Device

== Possible Prior Art ==
There may be prior art related to the use of sapphire in light-transmissive members for laser devices.

== Unanswered Questions ==

=== How does the use of sapphire in the light-transmissive member affect the overall cost of manufacturing the device? ===
The patent application does not provide information on the cost implications of using sapphire in the light-transmissive member.

=== Are there any specific limitations or drawbacks to using sapphire in this application? ===
The patent application does not address any potential limitations or drawbacks of using sapphire in the light-transmissive member.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A light emitting device includes: at least one semiconductor laser element; a base member on which the at least one semiconductor laser element is disposed; a light-transmissive member including: an upper surface, a lower surface, and a light-transmissive region through which laser light emitted from the at least one semiconductor laser element is transmitted from the lower surface to the upper surface; and a lens member through which the laser light emitted from the at least one semiconductor laser element, the lens member being fixed to the base member or the light-transmissive member. At least the light-transmissive region is made of sapphire. The light-transmissive member includes an incident surface on which the laser light is incident, the incident surface being an a-plane of the sapphire.
