Surface-Plasmon-Induced Modification on the Spontaneous Emission Spectrum via Subwavelength-Confined Anisotropic Purcell Factor

The mechanism of using the anisotropic Purcell factor to control the spontaneous emission linewidths in a four-level atom is theoretically demonstrated; if the polarization angle bisector of the two dipole moments lies along the axis of large/small Purcell ...

On-chip stimulated Brillouin scattering

Luc Thévenaz

We demonstrate on-chip stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in an As2S3 chalcogenide rib waveguide. SBS was characterized in a 7cm long waveguide with a cross-section 4μm x 850nm using the backscattered signal and pump-probe technique. The measured Brillo ...

Polarization attributes of stimulated Brillouin scattering slow light in fiber

Luc Thévenaz

The polarization-related properties of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) processes in long, randomly birefringent, standard optical fibers are examined. Evolution equations for the pump and signal waves, in the presence of both birefringence and SBS, a ...

Resonances and absorption enhancement in thin film silicon solar cells with periodic interface texture

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Karin Söderström, Ali Naqavi

We study absorption enhancement by light scattering at periodically textured interfaces in thin film silicon solar cells. We show that the periodicity establishes resonant coupling to propagating waveguide modes. Ideally, such modes propagate in the high i ...

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Luminescence of Individual Nanostructures

Theresa Lutz

A detailed investigation and characterization of the local properties of individual nanoscopic structures is of great importance for the understanding of novel physical phenomena at the nanoscale as well as for the assessment of their possible use in futur ...

Bias-dependent absorption coefficient of the absorber section in GaN-based multisection laser diodes

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Antonino Francesco Castiglia, Luca Alex Milo Sulmoni

We measure the modal absorption coefficient of the InGaN quantum wells (QWs) in the absorber section of (Al,In)GaN multisection laser diodes as a function of bias voltage and photon energy using optical gain-spectroscopy. In the examined laser diodes, the ...

Full-wave analysis of photonic-crystal structures with multi quantum well active region

Banafsheh Abasahl

In this paper, a semi-classical formulation for modeling photonic-crystal (PC) structures with a four-layer multi quantum well (MQW) active region is presented. The formulation treats the electromagnetic fields as a classical entity, while employing the qu ...

Cavity-enhanced photonic crystal light-emitting diode at 1300 nm

Laurent Balet, Blandine Alloing

We report direct evidence of enhanced spontaneous emission in a photonic crystal light-emitting diode (LED) at telecom wavelength (lambda similar to 1300 nm). This result is crucial to obtain an electrically driven single photon source with high extraction ...

Theoretical Investigation of the Radiation Pattern From LEDs Incorporating Shallow Photonic Crystals

Romuald Houdré

A theoretical approach based on coupled-mode theory is presented in order to determine the radiation pattern of LEDs incorporating a shallow photonic crystal. From this, a fundamental limit for the directionality of the diffraction of a single guided mode ...

Enhanced spontaneous emission in a photonic-crystal light-emitting diode

Laurent Balet, Blandine Alloing

We report direct evidence of enhanced spontaneous emission in a photonic-crystal (PhC) light-emitting diode. The device consists of p-i-n heterojunction embedded in a suspended membrane, comprising a layer of self-assembled quantum dots. Current is injecte ...
