Field-induced magnetic phases and electric polarization in LiNiPO4

Neutron diffraction is used to probe the (H,T) phase diagram of magnetoelectric (ME) LiNiPO4 for magnetic fields along the c axis. At zero field the Ni spins order in two antiferromagnetic phases. One has commensurate (C) structures and general ordering ve ...

Infrared investigation of the phonon spectrum in the frustrated spin cluster compound FeTe2O5Cl

László Forró, Helmuth Berger

We present our optical investigations on the frustrated spin cluster compound FeTe2O5Cl, which develops a long-range antiferromagnetic order below 10 K. We measure the optical reflectivity from the far-infrared to the ultraviolet with polarized light. We f ...

Observation of Half Quantum Vortices in an Exciton-Polariton Condensate

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Konstantinos Lagoudakis

Singly quantized vortices have already been observed in many systems, including the superfluid helium, Bose-Einstein condensates of dilute atomic gases, and condensates of exciton-polaritons in the solid state. Two-dimensional superfluids carrying spin are ...

Lattice-matched GaN-InAlN waveguides at lambda=1.55 mu m grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Eric Feltin, Sylvain Nicolay, Mauro Mosca

We report on the demonstration of low-loss, single-mode GaN-InAlN ridge waveguides (WGs) at fiber-optics telecommunication wavelengths. The structure grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy contains AlInN cladding layers lattice-matched to GaN. For slab ...

Micro-optical polarizer with high efficiency

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf

Based on liquid crystal polymers (LCP) a compact micro-optical polarizer with high efficiency has been designed and realized. By using cylindrical mierolens arrays made of LCP and index matching layer, a complete separation of both polarization components ...

Complex behavior of biexcitons in GaN quantum dots due to a giant built-in polarization field

Nicolas Grandjean, Raphaël Butté, Dobri Simeonov

In-depth optical spectroscopic studies of single polar GaN/AlN quantum dots (QDs) grown by molecular beam epitaxy are carried out by means of low-temperature microphotoluminescence. Luminescence linewidths as low as 700 mu eV are obtained allowing thorough ...

Polarization sensitive diffuser

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf

With help of liquid crystal polymers (LCP) a polarization sensitive diffuser has been realized. By using convex microstructures made of LCP and an index matching layer, two distinct functions depending on the orientation of the device and the polarization ...

Semiconductor vertical quantum structures self-formed in inverted pyramids

Qing Zhu

Semiconductor quantum wires (QWRs) and quantum dots (QDs) represent important classes of low-dimensional quantum nanostructures, useful for studies and applications of quasi one- and zero-dimensional systems. Recently, considerable efforts have been devote ...

Polarization properties of semiconductor quantum dot and dash lasers

Philipp Ridha

Self-assembled quantum-dots (QDs) represent a distributed ensemble of zero dimensional structures, each presenting a near-singular density of states. The QD size, shape, areal density and optical properties depend on growth parameters, such as growth tempe ...

Excited excitonic states observed in semiconductor quantum dots using polarization resolved optical spectroscopy

Elyahou Kapon, Alok Rudra, Daniel Oberli, Valentina Troncale

We present results on the polarization-resolved photoluminescence emitted from InGaAs/AlGaAs single quantum dots (QDs) grown in inverted tetrahedral pyramids. The emitted light was detected for two mutually perpendicular linear polarization directions in t ...
