Optical Transmission Through Sub-Wavelength Slits in Metals

This thesis explores the properties of the transmission of light through subwavelength slits in metal films. Theoretical and experimental studies on the transmission through slits in metals are presented. In addition, the potential use of these slits for d ...

Scanning Tunneling Luminescence of Pentacene Nanocrystals

Alexander Kabakchiev

Organic semiconductors are promising materials for future electronic and electroluminescence applications. A detailed understanding of organic layers and nano-sized crystals down to single molecules can address fundamental questions of contacting organic s ...

Optical Bistable Switching With Kerr Nonlinear Materials Exhibiting a Finite Response Time in Two-Dimensional Photonic Crystals

Ali Naqavi, Sina Khorasani

Effect of relaxation time on the performance of photonic crystal optical bistable switches based on Kerr nolinearity is discussed. This paper deals with optical pulses with the duration of about 50 ps. In such cases the steady state response of the optical ...

Spin relaxation of free excitons in narrow GaN/AlxGa1-xN quantum wells

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Raphaël Butté, Eric Feltin

By performing pump-probe experiments, we study the relaxation dynamics of spin-polarized excitons in a wurtzite GaN/AlGaN quantum well (QW)grown by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy. The circular degree of polarization of the differential reflectivity sign ...

Exciton-polariton spin switches

Romuald Houdré, Timothy Chi Hin Liew

Integrated switching devices comprise the building blocks of ultrafast optical signal processing(1,2). As the next stage following intensity switching(1,3,4), circular polarization switches(5-9) are attracting considerable interest because of their applica ...

Coherent Oscillations in an Exciton-Polariton Josephson Junction

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Konstantinos Lagoudakis, Barbara Pietka

We report on the observation of spontaneous coherent oscillations in a microcavity polariton bosonic Josephson junction. Condensation of exciton polaritons here takes place under incoherent excitation in a double potential well naturally formed in the diso ...

III-nitride based microcavities

Gabriel Christmann

This PhD thesis work describes the study of III-nitride based planar microcavities operating in the strong coupling regime at room temperature. The aim is to use the nonlinear emission properties of such samples in realistic devices. Furthermore these stud ...

Bose-Einstein condensation of microcavity polaritons

Davide Sarchi

This thesis presents a theoretical description of the phase transition, with formation of long-range spatial coherence, occurring in a gas of exciton-polaritons in a semiconductor microcavity structure. The results and predictions of the theories developed ...

Spectroscopy and kinetic studies of electron-hole recombination in CdSe nanoparticles

Awos Al Salman

This thesis presents an experimental study of the energy and time-resolved optical response of chemically prepared CdSe nanoparticles with different sizes, shapes (dots, rods, and tetrapods), and lattice structures (wurtzite and zinc blende). The first par ...

Exciton correlations within an electron gas

Jean Berney

I report on the effect of a moderate excess electron population on nonlinearities in modulation-doped CdTe quantum wells. I show that the electron population does not qualitatively affect the nature of correlations between excitons. In this respect, I brin ...
