Laser Emission from Dye-Doped Organic-Inorganic Particles of Microcavity Structure

Interaction between laser light and a micrometer-size spherical particle causes an optical resonance in its interior since a spherical wall acts as a cavity. The present work seeks to investigate the preparation of organicinorganic particles containing laser dyes and demonstrate their lasing behavior. Rhodamine 6G was incorporated into organic-inorganic spherical particles of micrometer-size using sol-gel technique. Phenyl triethoxy silane was used as a starting material for particles. Particle size was 1–10 μm and dye content was 1–7 × 10⁻⁵ mol/g. A particle was set on a glass plate in air and pumped by a second harmonic pulse ofQ-switched Nd-YAG laser (532 nm wavelength). From a particle of 6 μm in diameter, a strong laser emission peak was observed at 598 nm wavelength which corresponded to the whispering-gallery mode resonance.

Visible light emission from Si/SiO2 superlattices in optical microcavities

Bright quantum confined luminescence due to band-to-band recombination can be obtained from Si/SiO₂ superlattices. Placing them in a one-dimensional optical microcavity results in a pronounced modulation of the photoluminescence (PL) intensity with emission wavelength, as a consequence of the standing wave set up between the substrate and top interfaces. For a Si substrate, absorption of light reduces the PL efficiency, but for an Al-coated glass substrate the PL intensity is twice that of a quartz substrate case. The addition of a broad-band high reflector to the superlattice surface results in enhanced narrow-band emission. These results show that a suitably designed planar microcavity can not only considerably increase the external efficiency of luminescence in Si/SiO₂ superlattices but can also be used to decrease the bandwidth and selectively tune the peak wavelength.     

Modification of spontaneous emission rate in planar dielectric microcavities – seen as superradiance and subradiance

The modification of the spontaneous emission rate of an atom in a cavity can be seen as superradiance/subradiance induced by virtual image dipoles. This result is used to gain physical insight why the spontaneous emission is enhanced or suppressed in various cavity geometries. A general model for spontaneous emission engineering, which simultaneously handles dispersive and lossy cavities, is derived.

Influence of dielectric microcavity on the spontaneous emission rate of atom: a perspective on the closed-orbit theory of photons

The formulas of the quantum electrodynamics have been applied to calculate the spontaneous emission rate of excited atom in dielectric microcavity.The results exhibit damping oscillating Patterns which depend sensitively on the scaling parameter and geometrical structure.Compared with the case that the emitting atom is immersed in dielectric,the spontaneous emission rate is depressed obviously and the center or the mean value of the oscillations is intimately related to the real refractive index of the local position where the atom is.In order to explain this phenomenon,we utilize the closed-orbit theory to deal with the classical trajectories of the emitted photon.and extract the corresponding frequencies of the oscillations by Fourier transform.It is found that the oscillations can be represented in terms of the closed-orbits of the photon motion constrained in dielectric microcavity,thus providing another perspective on the spontaneous emission of atom sandwiched by dielectric slabs.     

Modeling,design, growth and characterization of red wavelength range microcavity emitters for plastic optic fiber applications

Resonant cavity light emitting diodes (RC-LEDs) and vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) for the red wavelength range are presented in the paper. A wide variety of simulation tools were employed in the device design and optimization and the good agreement between simulations and measurements enabled effective device development. Our red wavelength range RC-LEDs were mainly intended for short-haul communication systems based on polymethyl methacrylate plastic optical fiber and were optimized accordingly. They are achieving, under different structure and working regime variants, high output power (15 mW), high external efficiency (9.5%), record small-signal modulation bandwidth (f _-3dB up to 350 MHz), error-free back-to-back transmission rates beyond 622 Mbits/s, adjustable far-field pattern and good POF coupling efficiency with reasonably wide tolerances and without using auxiliary optics. In view of the possible use of graded-index POFs, free-space transmission and other high bandwidth or high spectral purity applications, VCSELs in the red wavelength range were also realized. They have achieved sub-milliamp room-temperature (RT) continuous-wave (CW) lasing for an 8 m diameter emission window and exhibited an external quantum efficiency of 6.65% for 10 m devices in RT CW operation. The VCSEL structures were far from optimal – not even incorporating all the RC-LED structure refinements – and significant improvement in performance characteristics are predicted for the optimized layer structure.     

Dynamics of a Spherical Microcavity in a Polymeric Liquid

The formation and collapse of a vapor microcavity (microbubble) in aqueous solutions of polyacrylamide with a molecular mass of 0.5–11 million and concentration of 0–6% is studied experimentally. A microbubble less than 100 m in size is formed as a result of local superheating of the liquid by a microheater. Using stroboscopic visualization, the microbubble evolution is investigated in detail. At high polymer concentrations and low molecular masses, a slowing of bubble collapse is noted. On the range of parameters considered, no radical change in microbubble dynamics due to the action of polymeric additives was observed.

Quantum theory of whispering gallery modes in a cylindrical optical microcavity

The quantum interpretation of whispering gallery modes in a cylindrical optical microcavity is presented in analogy with quantum mechanical theory. The formulas for the resonance shifts caused by a small change in correlative refractive index are derived. Then they are applied to two applications of the cylindrical microcavity to probe the change of surrounding medium and the nonlinear effect of cavity's surface.
