Abstract

A light-emitting device includes a first base member; a laser unit provided on the first base member; a capacitive element that is provided on the first base member and supplies a driving electric current to the laser unit; a wiring board that is constituted by a second base member having lower thermal conductivity than the first base member and on which the first base member is mounted; and a driving unit that is mounted on the wiring board and drives the laser unit.

Claims (44)

1. A light-emitting device comprising:

a first base member;

a laser unit provided on the first base member, wherein the laser unit is a surface emitting laser element array;

a capacitive element that is provided on the first base member and supplies a driving electric current to the laser unit;

a wiring board that is constituted by a second base member having lower thermal conductivity than the first base member and on which the first base member is mounted; and

a driving unit that is mounted on the wiring board and drives the laser unit.

2. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein

a planar shape of the first base member has a lateral direction and a longitudinal direction; and

the driving unit is mounted on a line extended from the lateral direction so that at least part thereof overlaps a range of a width in the longitudinal direction.

3. The light-emitting device according to claim 2 , wherein

the driving unit is mounted on the line extended from the lateral direction so that the whole driving unit is within the range of the width in the longitudinal direction.

4. The light-emitting device according to claim 2 , wherein

the laser unit and the capacitive element are aligned in the longitudinal direction.

5. The light-emitting device according to claim 3 , wherein

the laser unit and the capacitive element are aligned in the longitudinal direction.

6. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the laser unit is deviated toward the driving unit from a center of the first base member.

7. The light-emitting device according to claim 2 , wherein

the laser unit is deviated toward the driving unit from a center of the first base member.

8. The light-emitting device according to claim 3 , wherein

the laser unit is deviated toward the driving unit from a center of the first base member.

9. The light-emitting device according to claim 4 , wherein

the laser unit is deviated toward the driving unit from a center of the first base member.

10. The light-emitting device according to claim 5 , wherein

the laser unit is deviated toward the driving unit from a center of the first base member.

11. The light-emitting device according to claim 6 , wherein

the capacitive element is deviated toward the driving unit from the center of the first base member.

12. The light-emitting device according to claim 7 , wherein

the capacitive element is deviated toward the driving unit from the center of the first base member.

13. The light-emitting device according to claim 8 , wherein

the capacitive element is deviated toward the driving unit from the center of the first base member.

14. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first base member is made of a ceramic material.

15. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first base member is a semiconductor substrate; and

the driving unit that drives the laser unit is provided in the semiconductor substrate.

16. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , further comprising an optical member that changes at least one of a direction and a spread angle of light emitted from the laser unit.

17. An optical device comprising:

the light-emitting device according to claim 1 ; and

a light receiving unit that receives light emitted from the laser unit of the light-emitting device and then reflected by an object to be measured,

wherein the light receiving unit outputs a signal corresponding to a period from the emission of the light from the laser unit to the reception of the light by the light receiving unit.

18. A measurement device that measures a three-dimensional shape of an object to be measured, comprising:

the optical device according to claim 17 ; and

a three-dimensional shape specifying unit that specifies the three-dimensional shape of the object to be measured on a basis of light emitted from the laser unit of the optical device, reflected by the object to be measured, and then received by the light receiving unit of the optical device.
