Luminescence mechanism and energy level structure of Eu-doped GaN powders investigated by cathodoluminescence spectroscopy

1.5at% Eu-doped GaN powders were prepared by a co-precipitation method.Powder X-ray diffraction(XRD)results shows that there is only the wurtzite phase.Cathodoluminescence spectra were measured at room temperature and liquid nitrogen temperature,respectively.The band-to-band luminescence of GaN was shifted from 373 nm to 368 nm with the temperature decreasing from room temperature to liquid nitrogen temperature.The luminescence peaks at 537,557,579,590,597,614,653 and 701 nm are attributed to the Eu ions related transitions in the host of GaN powders and the peak positions were not influenced by the variation of temperature.With the increase of accelerating voltage,the intensity of all luminescence peaks was increased.The strongest luminescence peak at 614 nm shows non-symmetrical shape and is composed of 612,615 and 621 nm through Lorentzian fitting,which indicates there are oxygen and nitrogen environments of the Eu3+ions in the Eu-doped GaN powders.     

Fiber ring laser for intracavity sensing using a whispering-gallery-mode resonator

Whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) microresonators are used as optical transducers for sensing applications. The typical detection scheme is based on tracking the WGM resonance shift, by scanning with a tunable laser, when a change of the refractive index in the region probed by the WGM takes place. We propose a sensing approach based instead on monitoring the position of the laser line of a fiber ring laser having a WGM microsphere in its loop. We have demonstrated that the induced shift is the same for the ring laser line and for the microsphere resonance. The proposed method requires simpler, cheaper equipment and may also improve the sensor resolution because the ring laser line is much narrower than the microsphere WGM resonance.

Whispering gallery mode profiles in a coated microsphere

The properties of whispering gallery modes (WGM) of a microsphere can be tailored by coating the resonator with a thin film. If the coating has a higher refractive index than the microsphere core, the resulting structure will have a configuration which has similarities both with a classical WGM resonator and with a planar waveguide. By choosing the film thickness and refractive index we can tailor the degree of confinement of the WGMs inside the sphere core, coating and surrounding medium, which will in turn influence the WGMs contact with its surroundings. We present a study of the effect of the coating on the WGM mode profiles in particular of a silicon coating on a silica sphere.     

Resonating properties of passive spherical optical microcavities

As an optically pumped device, the lasing characteristics of a spherical microcavity laser depend on the optical pumping processes. These characteristics can be described in term of the Q factor and the optical field distribution in a microsphere. We derived analytical expressions and carried out numerical calculation for Q factor and optical field. The Q factor is found to be oscillatory functions of the radius of a microsphere and the pumping wavelength, and the pumping efficiency for a resonating microsphere is much higher than that for an anti-resonating microsphere. Using tunable lasers as pumping sources is suggested in order to achieve a higher pumping efficiency. Numerical calculation on optical field distribution in spherical microcavities shows that a well focused Gaussian beam is a suitable incident wave for cavity quantum electrodynamics experiments in which strong confinement of optical field in the center of a microsphere is requested, but higher order spherical wave should be used instead for exciting whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) microsphere lasers, for the purpose of favoring optical energy transferring to WGM in optical microspheres.

Luminescence of Eu<Superscript>3+</Superscript> rare-earth ions in Lu<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> nanospheres

The kinetics of luminescence of Eu³⁺ ions in Lu₂O₃:Eu nanospheres with diameters of 100–270 nm and a small standard deviation of the size distribution <15% has been studied. A sharp decrease in the decay time of luminescence of Eu³⁺ ions in the red range with an increase in the diameter of nanospheres has been attributed to the appearance of a photon mode accelerating spontaneous luminescence, which is confirmed by the calculation of ranges of existence of whispering-gallery modes in studied nanospheres.

Evanescent quadrupole polariton

In this work we demonstrate the formation of a new type of polariton on the interface between a cuprous oxide slab and a polystyrene microsphere placed on the slab. The evanescent field of the resonant whispering gallery mode (WGM) of the microsphere has a substantial gradient, and therefore effectively couples with the quadrupole 1S excitons in cuprous oxide. This evanescent polariton has a long lifetime, which is determined only by its excitonic and WGM component. The polariton lower branch has a well-pronounced minimum. This suggests that this excitation is localized and can be utilized for possible BEC. The spatial coherence of the polariton can be improved by assembling the microspheres into a linear chain.

Whispering-gallery mode lasing from polymer microsphere for humidity sensing

Microlasers based on high quality(Q) whispering-gallery mode(WGM) resonance are promising low threshold laser sources for bio-sensing and imaging applications. In this Letter, dye-doped polymer microspheres were fabricated by a controlling emulsion solvent evaporation method. WGM lasing with low threshold and high Q factors was realized in an individual microsphere under femtosecond laser pumping. The slight change of environmental relative humidity(RH) can be monitored by measuring the shift of the lasing modes at the exposure of water molecules, which demonstrates the sensitivity is as high as 6 pm/RH%. The results would offer an insight into employing microlasers as sensors.
