I've been to Harries a few times. This particular restaurant is great for a light lunch. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed. They offer a good variety of sweet and savory fillings...so a bit of everything for everyone.
Visited a couple of days ago and had the Thai pancake. Was very spicy and rather small but the milkshake was very good! Think I made a poor choice as my friends pancake was excellent.
So...I had gone to Cullinan and my buddy told me about this place and didn't know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised with the variety of pancakes on offer. Service was really good! The chicken savory pancake was delicious. The ginger beer was a little too sweet though!
This place is great for any meal of the day...
Harries is well known for his original and speciality pancakes.
The shop is a bit run down and the waiters could have been working in Cape town.
Located in a quite little town near God's Window, Harries Pancake provides lots of pancake choices and excellent taste.
We had a lunch meeting and went to them. Food were great. Loved the pancakes. The waiter were very friendly and service good. Perfect place for a light lunch.
The pancakes where very nice and did have besides the typical filling other not so common fillings. Service was friendly and attentive. Parking is available and not problematic to find.
Situated in a strip mall opposite the US Embassy, the eatery specializing in pancakes is a Sunday favourite in the ex-pat community longing for a taste from home. You can also have a pleasant morning coffee any day. There are daily specials but it closes at 7pm. Secure parking is no problem and you will always be greeted by the...
Was recommended that we ate here and it was well worth it. Lovely savoury pancakes and if we had more time would have enjoyed the sweet ones as well.
We went to this restaurant after a tour and had the Lemon Merang pancake. Awesome. They have a vast selection of pancakes and other sweets that you will love. It is also situated in a small shopping center with cure stores if you want to do some shopping.

oil leaks from valve covers after replacing them a year ago. Coolant leaks from the left side head gasket. It has leaked coolant from water pump and thermostat housing. - Visitor
I bought the car with under 62,000 miles, the owner said it had a small oil leak. I should have brought it to my Mechanic before I bought it. It's a money pit. The engine was real clean, The Stereo (Bose) didn't work only when you shut the car off. I only bought it for $2250.00 I put $900.00, They couldn't find the problem with the radio, the dashboard light is only half on. Then I finally get my bill down and the radiator exploded. $1500.00 job, They had to replace the valves, and when they did they found the short and fixed the Stereo. Car drives like cream puff! So, about two weeks ago I start smelling that burning smell again. So I bring it in, and the car is leaking oil now really bad. I said can I bring it back Monday, they said you can drive the car. I drove the car for 10 minutes, I went to drive it the next day to my daughters so I could borrow her car and the car started shaking and the check engine light came on. I drove the car one mile to my daughters then I had it towed to my Mechanic. The owner is the only one that looked at it, and then left. So I don't know whats going on. I'm freaking out. This car is killing me. - andreap13

The inflatable tent "MAVERICKS" by HEIMPLANET is a real fortress.
Made to withstand wind forces up to 180 km/h this special event/expedition tent was especially designed for the Event Red Bull Storm Chase. It already proved its excellent stability at the windiest mission of the Red Bull Storm Chase in Ireland with maximum wind speeds of 155 km/h.
Because of its outstandingly easy and intuitive handling "MAVERICKS" is the optimal companion for special events or expeditions.
Assembly of parts is unnecessary. Fly sheet and the inflatable frame (IDG) work as a union and enable a very quick and uncomplicated set-up (inflation). Just one single person can set-up the tent in less then 10 minutes; wIth two persons and two pumps it takes even less then 5 minutes (and so on...).
Just unpack it and inflate it - welcome home!

Please take 60 seconds to help us repeal the unfair Tan Tax!
The American Suntanning Association is working to gain support for the "Tanning Tax Repeal Act of 2015," and you can do your part by taking 1 minute to contact your representative through our simple online form. This bill would completely repeal the 10% excise tax on indoor tanning services that was introduced in 2009.
To ensure success for our industry, we need all salons to contact their representative and urge them to support H.R. 2698. We can't stress how crucial it is for salons to get involved in this process.
We've made it easy for you to contact your representative:
Click here to submit a letter as a salon owner/employee
Click here for a link to share with your customers
Based on our past experiences, salon participation has been extremely helpful when it comes to the legislative process. Please take minutes to send this letter and also call or visit your representative. This bill could make a huge impact on your business and our industry, so you need to make sure your representative knows it's important enough to support.
Another way to help is by getting your customers involved. We've provided a link to share with your customers so they can submit letters to their representative as well. In the past, salons have sent this link to their customers through email and some have even setup laptops in their salons for customers to submit letters with. The more letters of support we send to congress, the more likely we are to see this bill pass.
If you are interested in getting involved in other ways, please reply to this email with your contact information. We'll get in touch with you if further action is necessary.
Thank you for your support!
American Suntanning Association
WASHINGTON, June 11, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The American Suntanning Association (ASA) applauded the introduction Tuesday of a bill by Rep. George Holding (NC-13) to repeal the 10 percent federal excise tax on indoor tanning services enacted in 2010. HR 2698, "The Tanning Tax Repeal Act of 2015," is currently co-sponsored by 14 Republicans and two Democrats.
"Representative Holding has shown his commitment to America's small businesses by introducing this bill," said ASA President Bart Bonn. "The tan tax is an example of a misguided policy, implemented with little forethought, which has crippled an industry and cost tens of thousands of jobs in communities across America."
More than 9,000 salons – roughly half of all tanning salons in the U.S. – have closed since the tax was imposed in 2010 and resulted in the elimination of 76,000 jobs, in an industry heavily dominated by female business owners and employees. At the same time, the tax has generated less than 1/3 of the revenue projected by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) when the tax was implemented.
"We look forward to the speedy advancement of this legislation and the respite it will bring to small business owners throughout the country," added Bonn.
The American Suntanning Association is a Section 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization. For more information, visit www.americansuntanning.org
Championed by the American Suntanning Association (ASA) and bolstered by new bipartisan efforts in Congress, U.S. Rep. George Holding (R-NC) on Tuesday introduced "The Tanning Tax Repeal Act of 2015" – legislation to repeal the 10 percent federal excise tax on indoor tanning services enacted in 2010.
HR 2698 is currently co-sponsored by 12 Republicans and two Democrats, and ASA continues to seek support from additional members of Congress. The bill has been referred to the U.S. House Committee on Ways and Means for action.
This bill is the culmination of more than two years of ASA dedication to the effort, led by ASA President Bart Bonn, who has spent two weeks or more per month working in Washington, D.C. since the end of 2013. Bonn and ASA Director of Legislative Affairs Whitney Tyler have attended several hundred meetings in the Capitol over that period, working to develop the bill and gather the support necessary to reach this point. They have gained bipartisan backing of the repeal effort by educating representatives on the devastating financial impact of the tax, its failure to generate projected revenue and the unfair manner in which it's being levied.
Regardless of their political affiliations, members of Congress care about job creation and do not want to see people in their districts out of work. And, with more than five years having passed since the tax was implemented, there is no longer any question about its economic consequences.
The ASA is dedicated to supporting and defending the indoor tanning industry on all fronts. In addition to guiding this bill from its inception, the ASA represents the industry every day on issues involving the FDA, CDC, and state regulation, and engages in proactive efforts to promote the industry.
The ASA will continue to support the bill as it passes through the legislative process and keep you informed on its progress.
Some of the world's leading vitamin D researchers are now coming out publicly to support a balanced message about sun exposure, calling for public health groups and the media to realize that vitamin D deficiency in the world today is without a doubt caused by overzealous sun avoidance.
Their message: Dial it back a notch. Sunlight makes vitamin D and other substances in the skin that the body needs.
The video was released by Grassroots Health, a public health advocacy group based in San Diego, following a vitamin D-sunlight conference held at the University of California-San Diego where researchers unanimously supported a more-balanced look at sunshine.
It contains some of the most frank and direct statements supporting balance perhaps ever made in a public presentation.
"The most natural way to make vitamin D is to expose our skin to the sun, particularly around mid-day," Creighton University Vitamin D pioneer Dr. Robert Heaney said on the video. Heaney is widely regarded as one of the world's foremost vitamin D experts. He cited over-use of sunscreen as a public health mistake.
"I think its important to understand that although sunscreen can be a very helpful thing for us, the sunscreen manufacturers have a vested interest in scaring us to death so that we'll use more of their product. That I think needs to be resisted. I think that's a mistake. If you have a chance to be outdoors, I think you should be outdoors when you can." Heaney said.
Dr. Michael Holick — a world-renowned vitamin D expert from Boston University who has published several hundred papers on vitamin D and co-authored a study showing that sunbed users have 90 percent higher vitamin D levels as compared to non-users, encourages "sensible sun exposure" not just for vitamin D, but for a host of other natural by-products produced in the skin when it is exposed to UV light. Holick defines "sensible" as never sunburning and wearing sunscreen after you've gotten adequate sun.
"There are probably a lot of other biologic processes that are going on in your skin when you are exposed to sunlight that need to be really-investigated," Holick said. "One of them potentially is that not only when you're exposed to sunlight do you make vitamin D in your skin but you make at least 5-6 additional vitamin D-like photoproducts that we think have unique properties in the skin that may actually help reduce the risk of skin cancer and may have improvement in overall skin health."
Sunbeds as a source of UV-induced vitamin D were also supported in the video. "Sunbeds of course can be used to make vitmain D. It's been one of the ways that we've measured the amount of vitamin D that skin has the capacity to make. So what we claim about sunshine and how it makes is actually suntan parlor results," Dr. Reinhold Veith, a world-leading vitamin D reseracher from the University of Toronto, said on the video.
Dr. Cedric Garland, a vitamin D pioneer from the University of California-San Diego, congratulated Australians for coming around to embrace sensible non-burning sun exposure. "Australia is now promoting a D-Break in winter, and I think it's a great idea," Garland said.

We're not the only ones promoting a balanced approach toward UV light. Numerous independent health advocates and groups are passionate about educating the public on the benefits of moderate UV light from the sun or sunbeds.

Love it, does come with basket!
Jeanie from Elkhart, IN – Verified Buyer
First, the Q&A is WRONG, this DOES come with the basket. It just happen to be in 2 pieces. You actually assemble the bottom piece of the basket to the already attached sides that laid flat in box. Very easy to assemble with 4 screws. I almost didn't buy this due to it saying no basket but I really liked the style and size for my living room. It's a perfect fit and works so well with my decor. The basket is great for hats, gloves and scarves. For the rest of it, it was pretty easy to assemble. Just a tip, I would make sure NOT to tighten any bolts until the tall back panel piece (A) goes into place first. Actually, you can you probably tighten on side more then the other. Trust me, the back panel will fit, you just have to make sure to allow for some wiggle room and then once on, tighten away. Actually, I would just add it on as soon as you get the first piece on called the shelf frame (D). That's the piece the basket sits on and then add the other 3 pieces after the back panel. Also, make sure that shelf frame is on where the lip is toward the back. I accidently put it on backwards and it took me a few seconds to realize it when I went to put the basket in place. I couldn't figure out why the basket was not sliding in and out in an easy fashion. That's when I had the, duh moment, and just flipped it around. I hope this helps other people when buying it. You won't regret it if you are looking for a cute, functionally, great priced item. It's perfect for my kids coats and back packs and my stuff as well. I love it.
Perfect for my needs
Jamie from Holly Springs, NC
We have a small foyer and needed some place for jackets to be hung. The size of this particular tree was perfect. Also, the open slatted back allowed me to put this on a wall where the light switch is and still have access to it. So far it's sturdy, super easy to assemble, and the included basket is very functional and quite spacious. It looks exactly like it does in the picture and was on my doorstep in 2 days...I am extremely pleased!
Poor shipping, but nice product
Kristin from Branchburg, NJ – Verified Buyer
My hall tree box when shipped looked like it had been beaten, torn, and bitten in the transport process. I was concern about the actual product, but there didn't seem to be any scratches or issues. It takes a bit of time to assemble, but instructions are very clear and it looks great once finished. The hall tree does come with the ability to use dry screws to bolt the top section to your wall, but the screws can't be used if you have molding. I didn't use these top screws & I haven't had any top heavy issues yet. Overall, I'd recommend the product.
Gloria J from Stigler, OK – Verified Buyer
I have had this over a year now and it is simply awesome! I needed something small but functional when I walked in the front door. The drawer is great for dog leashes, and my yard shoes. The bench can be sat on and my cat loves lying on the cushion on the bench. I have had winter jacket, scarves etc hanging on the hooks. This little hall tree is a work horse. One of the best purchases I have ever made. Thank you Wayfair for the perfect product!! Pros: It's a work horse. Cons: Absolutely none!
Nice hall tree
Maria from Rego Park, NY – Verified Buyer
Very nice tree that comes with the basket. However it's probably smaller than you will imagine. The hooks can only really fit small jackets and bags and aren't really suited for hanging heavy coats. The back of it nails to the wall to keep it in place, however our walls are concrete and we cannot drill holes so it's a bit wobbly when you go to sit down. The seat also is really only ideal for one person to sit at a time so make sure you really look at the measurements to see if it's big enough for you. Pros: Convenient, nice design Cons: Smaller than expected
Nice product for the price.
Amanda from Greenville, WI
I was very pleased at how quick the shipping was on this product and it was free! I was able to put it together alone in what would have been under an hour, but unfortunately the drawer gave me problems. the outer four panels are attached and the bottom needs to be screwed into them but the metal rod was too long. I did my best to file it own and eventually was able to pop the bottom in and somewhat fit the screws in. The drywall anchors are good to have but are starting to come out because the baseboards on the wall do not allow the tree hall to push up flush to the wall. I am still very pleased with the product and works well in a small space.
Perfect addition to our entryway
dawn from maumee, OH – Verified Buyer
First purchase thru Wayfair and very happy with every aspect! It arrived quickly, packaging was great, assembly was piece of cake and it looks just like it does in pic. The piece itself seems sturdy, the hook size is great(so glad i read about this in another review before buying…hadn't even thought about that, and another hall tree i had been looking at had teeny hooks) and it's just a great looking piece of furniture! The only thing that i think would be an improvement, would be to add rollers to the basket…but it's not enough of an issue to make me give it less stars! Have had for less than a week so can't comment on it's durability…but i have high hopes!
Nice but not perfect
Jennifer from Boulder, CO – Verified Buyer
The entryway hall tree looks as shown in the photo. It fits nicely in a small entryway. It is perfect to hang jackets, backpacks, etc. on it. I do feel it is a nice piece for the price. The reason I am giving it three stars instead of four is for two reasons. Reason one, the metal was slightly misaligned and made it difficult to put in a screw. I was able to somehow get it to work. The second issue I have is that the piece is wobbly. It does have screw holes on top to mount to the wall. That would definitely help the problem except we have a baseboard which does not allow us to put it flush against the wall and so we can't mount it. The description should note that it must be mounted for item to work properly. Looking back now, I would recommend getting a bench and then mounting a small coat rack to the wall. It was too late to return after I took it out of the package and assembled it.
Beautiful Entry Pseudo-closet
Heather from PATCHOGUE, NY – Verified Buyer
I purchased this item to spruce up our apartment entryway and to de-clutter the shoes and coats everyone leaves by the front door. It is just perfect, and the open back keeps it from closing in the area. It is very sturdy, though we cannot attach the top bars to the wall because there is a heater. It still feels very sturdy to sit on. This is my 3-year olds "special seat" to put his shoes on when we need to go out and it works like a charm! ;) Not my first or last purchase from Wayfair!
Excellent Product for the Value--I absolutely love it!!!
Angela from Saint Louis – Verified Buyer
Product matches description and picture exactly. My husband put it together in about an hour (while watching football) and it looks very nice in our small mudroom. I am going to put a cover or blanket on top of the suedelike cushion seat so that it won't get wet and dirty from the elements. Pros: Great value, easy to assemble, sturdy, looks elegant, functional, and compact Cons: cushion seat will most likely get dirty/wet

"A face is the only alive part of the body?" asked Silly Willy.
"Because it has alive cells that people can see," said his teacher.
"Cells on the skin are dead and fall off like dust," the teacher explained.
"Dead cells make way for new cells and this happens even while you sleep,"
the teacher continued.
"Eyeball cells are alive which is why people say they can see into you,
because they really are seeing the real live you."
Forgetting his manners, Silly Willy made silly faces and the class laughed.
"Go ahead, everyone," said the teacher laughing too, "let's all make faces."

Super League preview: Injured trio miss Leeds Rhinos' match against Salford City Reds
Last Updated: 15/02/13 7:27pm
Leeds Rhinos must do without Jamie Peacock, Brett Delaney and Ryan Bailey for Friday's Super League fixture against Salford City Reds at Headingley.
Peacock and Delaney are expected to be fit to return for the Rhinos' World Club Challenge showdown with Melbourne Storm on February 22 but Bailey is waiting to find out if he requires knee surgery.
The Rhinos, who lost 14-12 at Castleford last time out, have included Stevie Ward, Kylie Leuluai and dual registered Richard Moore in their initial 19-man squad to face the City Reds.
Ward is on the comeback trail from the shoulder injury he suffered in last year's Grand Final win and has played twice for the under 19s recently, while Leuluai could make his first appearance of the season.
Moore steps back up to Super League after turning out for Hunslet Hawks in their Championship defeat to Leigh last weekend.
"All three will be keen to have big games to put down a marker for selection next week," McDermott said. "We know we need to improve on our performance last week at Castleford regardless of who we play next week.
"We are looking forward to getting back to Headingley Carnegie and putting in a quality performance against a determined opponent."
Salford have yet to win this season and will be without teenage playmaker Theo Fages at Headingley.
The 18-year-old was knocked out cold by a high tackle during last Saturday's 40-6 defeat at Catalan Dragons.
Marc Sneyd has taken Fages' place in the City Reds' initial 19-man squad.
Leeds squad: Hardaker, Watkins, Moon, Hall, McGuire, Burrow, Leuluai, McShane, Jones-Buchanan, Ablett, Sinfield, Ward, Kirke, Clarkson, Achurch, Griffin, Moore, Keinhorst, Hood
Salford squad: Murphy, Broughton, Gibson, R Williams, D Williams, McGoldrick, Sneyd, Jewitt, Godwin, McPherson, Ashurst, Dixon, Wild, Howarth, Gledhill, Boyle, James, Neal, Owen

The disclosed novel method of making III/V semiconductor lasers involves cleaving of the wafer along predetermined cleavage planes. A cleavage plane is defined by means of aligned non-continuous depressions. The depressions are spaced from the laser contact regions, and typically are V-grooves produced by photolithography and anisotropic etching. A further surface feature, typically a precisely positioned scribe mark, facilitates cleavage initiation. When carried out in vacuum the novel method can provide high quality, accurately positioned cleavage surfaces, and consequently can facilitate increased yield of high power lasers.
1. Method of making a III/V semiconductor laser comprising
a) providing a III/V semiconductor substrate body having a major surface, and forming on the major surface a III/V semiconductor multilayer structure having a top surface including a multiplicity of parallel contact regions, the semiconductor multilayer structure including an active layer, with the contact regions substantially defining active regions of the active layer;
b) forming a patterned metal layer on the top surface of the semiconductor multilayer structure, said patterned metal layer comprising a multiplicity of spaced apart metal contact pads, a given of said metal contact pads being disposed on a contact region; and
c) separating a body made by steps a) and b) into a multiplicity of laser chips by a process that comprises cleaving said body such that a bar-shaped intermediate body is formed, said intermediate body having a laser cavity-defining cleavage surface, and separating said intermediate body into said laser chips;
CHARACTERIZED IN THAT step c) comprises forming the intermediate body a process that comprises
d) forming elongate, spaced-apart depressions in the top surface of the semiconductor multilayer structure, said depressions disposed such that
i) a first multiplicity of said depressions is essentially aligned along a first predetermined line in the top surface of the semiconductor multilayer structure, said first predetermined line being essentially at right angle to said contact regions and defining the cleavage surface of the intermediate body;
ii) the depressions of the first multiplicity of depressions are spaced from said contact regions; and step c) further comprises

This invention pertains to methods of making III/V semiconductor lasers, including cleaving a semiconductor wafer.
III/V semiconductor lasers have an important technological role (e.g., in optical fiber communications, medical equipment, CD players), and further growth of the use of such lasers can be confidently anticipated.
In view of the wide use of III/V semiconductor lasers, it would clearly be highly advantageous to be able to manufacture the lasers with high yield, since any yield improvement can translate essentially directly into cost reduction. This application discloses a cleaving technique that can substantially increase the number of acceptable lasers that can be obtained from a given multilayer III/V semiconductor wafer. The novel technique is particularly advantageous in conjunction with vacuum cleaving and in situ facet passivation.
In semiconductor laser manufacture it is conventional to separate a completed wafer into a multiplicity of "bars" by a process that involves marking the cleavage plane with a scribe mark near the wafer edge, and causing fracture along the plane selected by the scribe mark by application of appropriate force. The thus created cleavage surfaces define the optical cavity of the lasers and should be of the highest quality. For obvious reasons, there should be minimal variation of cavity length from bar to bar. In practice a significant fraction of conventionally vacuum-cleaved surfaces have defects (e.g., striations), and/or are misplaced and thus do not yield lasers of the desired cavity length. Such cleavage errors are less of a problem if cleaving can be carried out in air, since commercially available cleaving apparatus can yield acceptable cleaving results. Cleaving in air however frequently results in chemical contamination of the cleavage surfaces and therefore is frequently undesirable.
After cleaving of the wafer into bars, a given (acceptable) bar is separated into individual lasers, and the lasers are then typically tested and packaged.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,237,601 discloses separating a wafer with thick substrate into bars by a process that involves etching deep channels into the back surface of the substrate of the multilayer wafer, followed by mechanical cleaving along the channels.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,689,125 discloses forming individual short laser chips by a process that involves electrochemically photoetching intersecting grooves into the back surface of the substrate, and cleaving along the grooves.
The prior art techniques have significant shortcomings and have, to the best of our knowledge, not been used in commercial laser production. For instance, both techniques involve etching continuous grooves into the wafer surface that is opposite to the surface that carries the features (e.g., patterned metalization) that define the location of individual lasers on the wafer. Alignment of the grooves to the features on the opposite surface is at best difficult and inconvenient.
In view of the importance of III/V semiconductor lasers, a method of making the lasers that includes a reliable and accurate cleaving technique, capable of implementation in vacuum, and capable of making with high yield lasers having essentially uniform cavity length, with mirror facets free from striations or other mechanical damage, would be highly desirable. This application discloses such a method.
In a broad aspect the invention is embodied in a novel and advantageous method of making III/V semiconductor lasers that inter alia can lead to improved manufacturing yield of such lasers, exemplarily of InGaAstAlGaAs/GaAs strained quantum well lasers useful as pump lasers for Er-doped optical fiber amplifiers.
More specifically, the invention is embodied in a method of making III/V semiconductor lasers that comprises making a body by forming on a major surface of a III/V semiconductor substrate a III/V semiconductor multilayer structure, and forming a patterned metal layer on the top surface of the semiconductor multilayer structure. The top surface includes a multiplicity of parallel contact regions, and the multilayer structure includes an active layer, with the contact regions defining active regions of the active layer in conventional fashion. The patterned metal layer comprises a multiplicity of spaced apart metal contact pads, with a given of said contact pads being disposed on a contact region. The method also comprises separating the body, made as described above, into a multiplicity of laser chips by a process that comprises cleaving the body such that a bar-shaped intermediate body (the "bar") is formed, and separating the bar into the laser chips. As will be appreciated, the cleavage planes of a given bar define the optical cavities of the laser chips made from the bar.
Significantly, separating the body comprises forming (typically by conventional photolithography and anisotropic etching) spaced apart, elongate depressions in the top surface of the semiconductor multilayer structure. The depressions are disposed such that a multiplicity of the depressions is aligned along a predetermined line in the top surface of the semiconductor multilayer structure, with the line being essentially at fight angle to the contact regions and defining a cleavage plane of the body. Note that the above referred-to "line" is a geometrical line and not a physical feature in or on the surface. The depressions are spaced apart from the contact regions. Separating the body also comprises applying a force to the body such that the body cleaves along the cleavage plane defined by the multiplicity of depressions.
It will be appreciated that typically a wafer comprises a multiplicity of parallel sets of aligned depressions, with each set defining a cleavage plane. The spacing between sets determines the width of the laser bar, and thus determines the cavity length of the lasers. Since the depressions can be shaped and located with great precision by conventional photolithography and etching techniques, it is possible to repeatably produce lasers of essentially identical cavity lengths.
Since the depressions can readily be produced to have sharp features pointing outward in the longitudinal direction, the presence of the depressions facilitates initiation of cleavage. However, in order to get the full benefit of the novel cleaving technique, it is generally necessary to further facilitate cleavage along the predetermined plane, exemplarily by provision of a short scribe mark extending from a depression, typically from a depression located at or near the perimeter of the wafer. Optionally, etched features that facilitate cleavage of the laser bar into individual laser chips can also be provided.
FIG. 1 schematically shows a portion of a laser wafer with depressions according to the invention;
FIG. 2 shows exemplary performance data for 8 lasers produced according to the invention, and analogous 8 lasers that were cleaved in conventional fashion; and
FIG. 3 shows data on light output vs. current for an exemplary laser produced according to the invention.
A variety of III/V semiconductor (including InP-based as well as GaAs-based) lasers are known. The inventive method can be advantageously used in the production of any III/V semiconductor laser that comprises cleaved laser facets. The description below will be in terms of a particular III/V semiconductor laser, namely, an InGaAs/AlGaAsdGaAs strained quantum well laser. This is for the sake of concreteness, and no limitation is implied thereby.
The structure of the above-recited lasers is well known (see, for instance, N. Chand et al., IEEE J. Quantum Electronics, Vol. 30(2), pp. 424-440 (1994) as is a method of forming the multilayer semiconductor structure on the GaAs substrate, and of providing the n-side and p-side contacts.
FIG. 1 schematically depicts a portion of a III/V wafer with a conventional semiconductor multilayer structure thereon. Numeral 1 refers to the substrate, 2 refers to a specific layer of the multilayer structure (namely, the active layer; note that other layers of the multilayer structure are not shown separately), and 31 and 32 refer to two adjacent contact regions (exemplarily p-side contacts). The lateral extent of a given contact region substantially defines the lateral extent of the active region of the laser, and thus also defines the most critical portion of the laser facet. Numerals 41 and 42 designate two contact metal (typically Au) pads respectively overlying portions of contact region 31. Numerals 51-53 designate one set of aligned depressions in the top surface of the semiconductor multilayer structure, and numerals 61-63 refer to another set of such depressions. As can be seen, the members of a given set are aligned such that they lie on a straight line. Significantly, the depressions do not extend into the active regions (as defined by the lateral extent of the contact regions), thereby facilitating attainment of high quality facets in the active region.
Numeral 7 refers to a feature that further facilitates initiation of cleavage, and which we have found necessary in order to attain the highest quality cleavage. Exemplarily the feature is a mechanical scribe mark. As those skilled in the art will readily appreciate, precise positioning of the scribe mark is facilitated by the sharply pointed end of depression 53. Exemplarily, a scribe stylus is moved along the crease of depression 53 until the pointed end of the depression is reached. The thus positioned scribe is then moved a further small distance, with appropriate load applied, such that the scribe mark results. As shown in FIG. 1, scribe mark 7 also does not extend into contact region 32.
Numerals 81 and 82 refer to (optional) features in the top surface of the semiconductor multilayer structure. The features are provided to facilitate separation of laser bars into individual laser chips. Note that the portion of the wafer between depression sets 61-63 and 51-53 corresponds to a laser bar. Optional features 81, 82, etc. will typically also be formed by photolithography and etching, although shape and placement requirements are less critical than they are for depressions 51-53, etc.
FIG. 2a shows the pulsed power vs. current (L-I) curves of 8 exemplary lasers that were cleaved and coated in vacuum in conventional fashion, without etched depressions, and FIG. 2b shows the corresponding pulsed L-I curves of 8 (otherwise identical) lasers that were cleaved in vacuum with etched depressions according to the invention, and coated in the same manner as the comparison lasers. The lasers according to the invention exhibited a very narrow spread of their L-I characteristics, as compared to the rather wide spread of the prior art lasers. FIG. 2 thus demonstrates advantageous results obtained with the inventive method of making lasers.
FIG. 3 shows the CW (continuous wave) L-I characteristics of an exemplary broad area stripe laser produced according to the invention. Output up to 1W was obtained despite an unoptimized heat sink and large thermal resistance.
The optical power density at the facet of the laser of FIG. 3 was 14.5 MW/cm2 which, to our knowledge, is higher than the highest previously reported power density for broad area lasers. We attribute our excellent results to the high quality of the laser facets that result from our novel manufacturing technique, and the consequently high resistance to COD (catastrophic optical damage).
A laser structure was grown by MBE on a n-GaAs substrate wafer. The structure comprised an active layer with two 8 nm thick In0.2 Ga0.8 As strained quantum wells separated by 10 nm thick GaAs spacer layers, and 1.5 μm thick Si- and Be-doped AlGaAs n- and p-cladding layers, respectively, on either side of the active layer. Graded composition layers were disposed between the active layer and the cladding layers, where the A1 cell temperature was linearly graded from AlAs content of 0.4 to 0.05 or vice-versa over a thickness of 0.12 μm. Thick gold n-side contact pads were deposited in conventional fashion. Broad area lasers with active region stripe widths of 25 μm were fabricated by vacuum cleaving of 750 μm wide laser bars, followed immediately by ZnSe passivation of the cleaved surfaces, and SiO (R=5%) low reflectivity, and SiO/Si (R=90%) high reflectivity coating. Vacuum cleaving was done with and without depressions (V-grooves) according to the invention. V-grooves (about 20 μm wide and about 200 μm long, with 15 μm depth) were produced by conventional photolithography, followed by chemical etching in 3H3 PO4 :1H2 O2 :5H2 O. Mechanical scribe marks were made. Microscopic inspection of facets produced by in-vacuum cleaving according to the invention showed no striations or hackles on the facets, contrary to what was observed when conventional cleaving was used.
Thus produced lasers were tested in conventional fashion. FIGS. 2 and 3 show exemplary results. Laser production according to the invention (including vacuum cleaving and in situ facet coating) had significantly higher yield than was obtained when prior art vacuum cleaving and coating was used.

What's Happening: Starboard Valuenominated three candidates to the board for the 2013 annual meeting.
Key Numbers and Dates:
$159 million: the increase in the company's annual revenue since 2008 (presently at $559 million).
$4 million: the increase in the company's Ebitda since 2008 (presently at $69 million).
$27 million: the increase in the company's annual sales, general, and administrative expenses since 2008 (presently at $91 million).
April 26, 2013: expected date of the annual meeting.
Behind the Scenes: Starboard has had activist success in helping companies cut costs, particularly costs related to noncore businesses. In this case, Calgon's core business of activating and reactivating carbon for municipalities is profitable, while its two noncore businesses—an equipment and consumer business and a carbon-cloth business—make up only 10% of the company's revenue. Most of the cost-cutting to be done here will involve the company's core business, and the new CEO has already laid out a plan for cost reductions. Starboard is likely looking for board representation so that it can get more information on exactly how much cash flow the two small businesses eat up each year, and assist in cutting SG&A costs. Starboard acquired most of its position in Calgon just recently, and there was a Jan. 15 deadline for director nominations. So, this may end up being an amicable situation, as Starboard was forced to make these nominations before being able to fully explore discussions with the company.

I made these muffins with an egg substitution so they were vegan. I love the way they turned out! I made them for my friends, and they loved them too.

Excellent, easy recipe! I poured a lttle melted butter into the bottom of each muffin tin before adding the sugar, the nuts, the pineapple chunks and a half Maraschino Cherry for a real Pineappl...

What precisely is the Greek government's mandate?
Kira Gartzou, research assistant in European Studies, analyses the differences in views expressed by Syriza towards Europe, and in particular Germany, during its winning electoral campaign, and the views now portrayed in Syriza's party newspaper since coming to power in January 2015.

Extremism disenchanted: what role can education play?

Junior Research Forum
Each year, we support a number of advanced research students – MA students, PhD candidates and postdoctoral fellows – to work together to explore common research interests related to Europe broadly conceived.
Call for 2014-2015
A new call for proposals for the academic year 2014-15 is out now.
We invite proposals from groups of at least two students, who aim to develop new research output, or seek to raise the profile and impact of their research. Proposed projects may be formulated in response to current affairs or address long-standing research questions. Collaboration between students based in different UCL departments is particularly encouraged. Funding of up to £1000 plus some administrative assistance is available per project.
Current Projects (2014-15)
Eligible proposals
Typical projects eligible for funding include:
- organising a research conference, a seminar series, workshop(s), or a public panel discussion
- convening a reading or discussion group
- costs associated with working groups leading to written research output (publication, working paper, report)
- costs associated with research activity (e.g. travel, interviews) leading to an event, feeding into a reading/discussion group or resulting in a co-authored publication
- public engagement activities and collaborations with external non-academic institutions
