脉冲激光沉积法制备的ZnO薄膜的低阈值电抽运紫外随机激射

分别采用直流反应溅射法和脉冲激光沉积法在硅衬底上沉积ZnO薄膜, 用X射线衍射、扫描电镜、光致发光谱等手段对两种方法沉积的ZnO薄膜的结晶状态、 表面形貌和光致发光等进行了表征. 进一步对比研究了以上述两种方法制备的ZnO薄膜作为发光层的金属-绝缘体-半导体结构器件的电抽运紫外随机激射. 结果表明, 与以溅射法制备的ZnO薄膜作为发光层的器件相比, 以脉冲激光沉积法制备的ZnO薄膜为发光层的器件具有更低的紫外光随机激射阈值电流和更高的输出光功率. 这是由于脉冲激光沉积法制备的ZnO薄膜中的缺陷更少, 从而显著地减少了紫外光在光散射过程中的光损耗. 关键词： 随机激射 ZnO薄膜 脉冲激光沉积 溅射     

Single quantum dot nanolaser

Recent theoretical and experimental progress on nanolasers is reviewed with a focus on the emission properties of devices operating with a few or even an individual semiconductor quantum dot as a gain medium. Concepts underlying the design and operation of these devices, microscopic models describing light‐matter interaction and semiconductor effects, as well as recent experimental results and lasing signatures are discussed. In particular, a critical review of the “self‐tuned gain” mechanism which gives rise to quantum‐dot mode coupling in the off‐resonant case is provided. Furthermore recent advances in the modeling of single quantum dot lasers beyond the artificial atom model are presented with a focus on the exploration of similarities and differences between the atomic and semiconductor systems.     

量子阱单激子光增益实现超低阈值连续波激光

胶质纳米晶光增益材料对于开发新一代的高效激光器前景巨大.采用外延生长法制备原子尺寸厚度的Ⅱ型CdSe/CdTe复合纳米片,研究该异质结构的光学性质及其对应的电荷动力学过程,以此探讨其光增益性能及激光应用潜能.光谱结果表明,Ⅱ型纳米片有效的电子与空穴分离结构使其表现出较大的斯托克斯位移（△_S=100 meV）和较强的激子-激子库伦排斥力（△_XX=50 meV）.△_S和△_XX的协同效应使"激子-双激子"吸收能相比单激子发射能提高了约150 meV,打破了一般纳米晶结构中两者的简并关系,这将有效抑制光吸收损失并促进单激子光增益.单激子光增益机制下该纳米片较长的单激子寿命（τ_x=394 ns）使连续激光泵浦的理论功率阈值低至12 W/cm²,这为开发实用性更强的、超低阈值的连续波激光器提供可能.     

LASING FROM A DYE-DOPED PENDANT DROP AND ITS PRECESSION

We have observed lasing from the rim of dye-doped ethylene glycol pendant drops. Spatial-resolved spectral measurements show that the lasing wavelength varies along a vertical rim of the drop. Time-resolved measurements indicate that lasing precession occurs within the drop. Various lasing patterns due to lasing precession are explained. The measured precession periods for different pumping points are in good agreement with the calculated values based on morphology-dependent resonance theory.

Time-reversed lasing based on one-dimensional gratings

We show that a one-dimensional grating can generally exhibit time-reversed lasing better than a uniform slab. As the effective refractive index of a grating can be controlled by adjusting the geometric parameters, the time-reversed lasing can be realized for any incident wavelength in it. Moreover, the operating frequency range of coherently perfect absorption for a grating structure is remarkably broad compared with a uniform structure. All these behaviors are demonstrated with GaAs/Air gratings illuminated around 794.8 nm$794.8\text{nm}$. The properties of the proposed grating imply the potential applications such as detectors, transducers, and broad band absorber.

The Study on the Interaction between Tm3+ and Tb3+ Rare Earth Ions in YVO4 Crystal

In this paper the measurement result of transmission spectrum of Tb,Tm∶YVO4 is presented. The intensity Ωt, the probabilities of radiating transition, non-radiating transition, the cross-relaxation and the lifetimes of Tm3+ ions at 3H4 and 3F4 levels are calculated. The results show that when the concentration of Tm3+ ions >1.2 at.-%, the fluorescent lifetime of upper level 3H4 is shorter than that of lower level 3F4 due to the interaction between Tm3+ and Tb3+ ions, thus the lasing self-termination at ～1.5 μm can be eliminated.
