Combining optical gain in direct-bandgap III-V materials with tunable optical feedback offered by advanced photonic integrated circuits is key to chip-scale external-cavity lasers (ECL), offering wideband tunability along with low optical linewidths. Exter ...
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 ...
Recent years have seen spectacular developments in the domain of nano-optics.
Alongside the well-known techniques of super-resolution microscopy progress
in nanofabrication has enabled important improvements in the fields
of optical imaging and spectros ...
The III-nitride semiconductor material system - (InAlGa)N - is of highest interest for optoelectronic applications due to its direct bandgap, tunable from the ultraviolet to the infrared spectral range. The most well-known are white light-emitting diodes, ...
Over the last years we have continuously improved the performance of 1300 nm band VECSELs with wafer fused gain mirrors in the intra-cavity diamond and the flip-chip heat dissipation configurations. In this work we present recent results for gain mirrors t ...
Surface-based measurement substrate including: • - at least one optical cavity layer (7); • - a first optical mirror (9) and a second optical mirror (11), the first and second optical mirrors enclosing the optical cavity layer and defining an optical cavit ...
We report broad bandwidth blue superluminescent light-emitting diodes (SLEDs) based on a short-cavity active region. The dependencies of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) output power and gain bandwidth on cavity length were investigated in devices whos ...
Bloch surface waves (BSWs) are surface electromagnetic modes that propagate at the interface between a multilayer substrate and a homogeneous external medium. The optical field of the surface mode is confined near the surface of the multilayer. This vertic ...
Trapping of mesoscopic particles by optical forces usually relies on the gradient force, whereby particles are attracted into optical wells formed by landscaping the intensity of an optical field. This is most often achieved by optical Gaussian beams, inte ...
For GaN-based microcavity light emitters, such as vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) and resonantcavity light emitting diodes (RCLEDs) in the blue-green wavelength regime, achieving a high reflectivity wide bandwidth feedback mirror is truly ...
