We have studied the effect of valence band mixing on the optical properties of semiconductor quantum wires by analyzing the luminescence polarization. Large polarization anisotropy is observed and directly compared to the effects predicted by a k . p model ...
High quality InP/InGaAsP Distributed Bragg Reflectors (DBRs) are a key element in Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSELs) for long wavelength (1.55 mu m) applications [1-3]. Because of the small index difference between InP and InGaAsP, more than 3 ...
A non-invasive probe has been devised and clinically used to perform in vivo measurements of the optical properties of the esophageal wall and oral cavity. The absorption and reduced scattering coefficients are determined from the observation of the spatia ...
GaN epilayers and GaN/AlGaN quantum wells (QWs) were grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaN(0001) single crystal substrates. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to assess the crystal quality of the homoepitaxial layers. A dislocation density of ...
We observed chemical contrast with subwavelength resolution on a III-V heterostructure by a scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM) working in the external reflection mode and coupled with a Free Electron Laser (FEL). SNOM reflectivity images reveale ...
The optical properties of high-quality V-groove GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs quantum wires have been investigated using low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) techniques. We systematically study the evolution of PL and PLE spectra ...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: A technique to manufacture a stable, reproducible three-dimensional optical phantom is presented. This phantom reproduces the tissue's optical properties as well as the geometry and, to some extent, the mechanical properties of th ...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: A cylindrical light diffuser has been developed mainly for medical applications, including photodynamic therapy (PDT), in particular interstitial PDT, PDT of the bronchi, or intravascular PDT. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS: T ...
An interferometric technique was used to investigate the relative phase delay between polarization modes in birefringent single-mode fibers. Polarization-mode dispersion is directly deduced from the measurements of relative phase delay at different wavelen ...
