This thesis addresses general aspects of the operation of a coupled-cavity vertical surface-emitting laser (CC-VCSEL) which consists of two active cavities optically coupled and independently electrically pumped. The first two chapters of the thesis deal w ...
The purpose of my thesis is to provide a theoretical analysis of the dynamics of optically excited carriers in semiconductor confined systems. In particular, I will focus the investigations on the effects due to the presence of a strong electron-hole Coulo ...
We report transient sub-picosecond pump and probe experiments performed on a semiconductor microcavity into which quantum wells have been inserted. The cavity is featuring resonance and strong coupling with the exciton. It is strongly and resonantly excite ...
We study the subpicosecond gain dynamics in a high-finesse semiconductor microcavity containing quantum wells by means of degenerate pump-probe spectroscopy. Tuning the optical excitation in resonance with both the exciton and the cavity modes, at high pum ...
The results obtained from luminescence measurements made on one-dimensional optical amplifiers are reviewed. The investigated samples are GaAs/(Ga, Al)As waveguiding structures containing a multiple quantum well structure as active element. The experimenta ...
Strained In0.35Ga0.65As/GaAs quantum wells of various thicknesses (6-16 monolayers) obtained by molecular beam epitaxy at 400 degrees C were studied by optical pumping techniques at 4 K. Improved quantum well optical properties, due to significant increase ...
We have investigated the ultrafast coherent dynamics of exciton-polaritons and excitons in semiconductor quantum nanostructures, including InGaAs/AlGaAs multi quantum well Bragg structures and AlGaAs/GaAs crescent shaped quantum wire samples, by using a ph ...
Considerable efforts are presently being made in the fabrication of miniaturized optical devices. An automated assembly technique for small optical components based on standardized holders and on-line alignment of the optical elements has been developed. T ...
Coherent optical beams are used to communicate, store, and process information in a growing number of applications. The availability of coherent laser sources is of critical importance for the realization of such optical information systems. An incoherent ...
The authors present a new experimental method for measurement of collision-free infrared radiative lifetimes for single quantum states of a vibrationally excited sample. This method provides a more direct route to the infrared Einstein A coefficients than ...
