Industrial laser precision machining is predominately based on pulsed Nd:YAG lasers operated at a wavelength of 1.06 µm in a free running pulse regime. The objective of this thesis work has been to investigate second and third harmonic generation for such ...
We study the optical properties of strongly photo-excited GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs Quantum Wells in the one-dimensional optical amplifier geometry. One part of our work deals with gain measurements using the "variable stripe length method". We are proposing two new ...
is presented. The system has no {\it a priori} knowledge of passwords. A hybrid HMM/ANN system is used to infer the phonetic transcription of the password. The emission probabilities are then modeled by a multi-Gaussians HMM model. Evaluation experiments, ...
In this paper, we present a new approach towards user-custom-ized password speaker verification combining the advantages of hybrid HMM/ANN systems, using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to estimate emission probabilities of Hidden Markov Models, and Gaus ...
Microcavity light emitting diodes (MCLEDs) present several interesting features compared to conventional LEDs such as narrow linewidth, improved directionality and high efficiency. We report here on MCLEDs with a top emitting geometry. The MCLED layers wer ...
The mechanisms of strain relief in submonolayer heteroepitaxy of Cu/Ni(100) are studied using variable temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and high resolution low energy electron diffraction. It is demonstrated that pseudomorphic copper islands, as t ...
The paper describes gain measurements in InGaAs/InGaAsP multiquantum-well lasers at 1.55-mu-m derived from the spontaneous emission under current injection. The gain spectrum in a broad-area laser device is determined from the spontaneous emission spectrum ...

High-efficiency top-emitting InGaAs/AlGaAs microcavity light-emitting diodes (MCLEDs) have been optimized and fabricated. The structures were grown using molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs substrates. They consist of a three-period Be-doped distributed Bragg r ...
This paper presents the theoretical basis and preliminary experimental results of a new HMM model, referred to as HMM2, which can be considered as a mixture of HMMs. In this new model, the emission probabilities of the temporal (primary) HMM are estimated ...
