Design of a Resonant-Cavity-Enhanced p-i-n GaN/AlxGa1-xN Photodetector

A resonant-cavity-enhanced p-i-n photodetector has been designed and analyzed to operate at a wavelength of 360 nm based on the Al_xGa_1-xN material system. The novel approach has been adopted of using epitaxial AlN/Al_xGa_1-xN quarter-wave stacks as the distributed Bragg reflector that serves as the front mirror. An Al_xGa_1-xN absorptive filter layer is incorporated to suppress all but one resonant mode to ensure single, narrow-band operation. This device structure is projected to achieve wavelength selective, high speed, and high quantum efficiency operation in the ultraviolet. MOCVD-grown 6 1/2-pair AlN/Al_xGa_1-x     

月基极紫外相机反射镜组件的设计

为了使月基极紫外相机反射镜组件在月球环境下具有良好的力学和热学稳定性,从而保证相机的成像质量,本文针对月基极紫外相机所处的严酷的力学和温度条件,设计了一种满足月球环境的反射镜组件结构.通过对反射镜组件有限元模型的重力分析、热载荷分析、动态刚度分析以及结构强度分析,结果表明反射镜组件的一阶谐振频率达到354 Hz,在1 g重力作用和ΔT=50℃均匀温变作用下镜面综合面形误差RMS值分别达到3.62 nm和2.46 nm,满足反射镜面形要求.最后,通过静力学面形检测、力学试验、温度适应性试验及成像分辨率测试,结果显示反射镜镜面面形精度RMS值优于14 nm,反射镜组件的设计满足总体指标,验证了该方案的合理性.     

Use of graphene for forming Al-based p-type reflectors for near ultraviolet InGaN/AlGaN-based light-emitting diode

We demonstrated the improved performance of near UV (365 nm) InGaN/AlGaN-based LEDs using highly reflective Al-based p-type reflectors with graphene sheets as a diffusion barrier. The use of graphene sheets did not degrade the reflectance of ITO/Al contacts, viz. ∼81% at 365 nm. The ITO/graphene/Al contacts annealed at 300 °C exhibited better ohmic behavior with a specific contact resistance of 1.5 × 10⁻³ Ωcm² than the ITO/Al contact (with 9.5 × 10⁻³ Ωcm²). Near UV LEDs fabricated with the ITO/graphene/Al contact annealed at 300 °C showed a 7.2% higher light output (at 0.1 W) than LEDs with the ITO/Al reflector annealed at 300 °C. The SIMS results exhibited that, unlike the ITO/graphene/Al, the ITO/Al contacts undergo a significant indiffusion of Al atoms toward the GaN after annealing. Furthermore, both Ga and Mg atoms were also more extensively outdiffused in the ITO/Al contacts after annealing. On the basis of the SIMS and electrical results, the possible explanations for the annealing-induced degradation of the ITO/Al contacts are described and discussed.     

温度对Al0.5Ga0.5As/AlAs分布布喇格反射器的反射谱影响

采用光学传输矩阵理论对Al0.5Ga0.5As/AlAs材料分布布喇格反射器(DBR)进行理论研究,分析了－10℃到100℃的范围内,温度变化对不同DBR结构的反射光谱影响.结果表明：随着温度的升高,传统20周期DBR的反射光谱向长波长方向移动,速率约0.05 nm/℃,其中由线热膨胀系数带来的影响小于0.001 nm/℃.当传统DBR的周期数增大时,温度对DBR光谱反射率的影响在减小,同时DBR的反射谱峰值波长发生红移.为了降低温度对DBR反射光谱的影响,提出一种新型的复式DBR结构.分析指出：该复式DBR比传统DBR有更大的反射光谱半峰宽,基本能覆盖同温度的AlGaInP LED电致发光光谱,这对提高LED的出光效率有现实意义.

Optimization algorithm for the pump structure of diode side-pumped solid-state lasers

The pump structure greatly influences the characteristics of a diode side-pumped solid-state laser (DSPSSL). To achieve high absorption efficiency and a homogeneous pump-beam distribution simultaneously, a systemic algorithm has been established to optimize the pump structure, where multiple reflections occur on the internal wall of the reflector inside the pump chamber. The absorption efficiency and the deviation of the absorption distribution are both evaluated for a typical solid-state laser medium. A scheme for identifying an ideal pump configuration was finally obtained from several determination procedures, in which all pump structure parameters were taken into account. The experimental results demonstrate that the approach described in this paper is effective for the design of DSPSSL systems with both high output power and good beam quality.
