Smooth GaN membranes by polarization-assisted electrochemical etching

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Joachim Armand Simonne Ciers

III-nitride membranes offer promising perspectives and improved device designs in photonics, electronics, and optomechanics. However, the removal of the growth substrate often leads to a rough membrane surface, which increases scattering losses in optical ...

Light-Matter Interaction in III-Nitride Waveguides: Propagating Polaritons and Optical Gain

Joachim Armand Simonne Ciers

III-nitride waveguides featuring AlInN claddings and GaN/AlGaN quantum wells (QWs) offer promising perspectives for applications in many fields of short-wavelength photonics. Thanks to their nearly lattice-matched nature, these structures exhibit an excell ...

Propagating Polaritons in III-Nitride Slab Waveguides

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Raphaël Butté, Gwénolé Jean Jacopin, Joachim Armand Simonne Ciers

We report on III-nitride waveguides with c-plane GaN/(Al,Ga)N quantum wells in the strong light-matter coupling regime supporting propagating polaritons. They feature a normal-mode splitting as large as 60 meV at low temperatures thanks to the large overla ...
