Narrow-Linewidth GaN-on-Si Laser Diode with Slot Gratings.

ABSTRACT: This letter reports room-temperature electrically pumped narrow-linewidth GaN-on-Si laser diodes. Unlike conventional distributed Bragg feedback laser diodes with hundreds of gratings, we employed only a few precisely defined slot gratings to narrow the linewidth and mitigate the negative effects of grating fabrication on the device performance. The slot gratings were incorporated into the ridge of conventional Fabry-Pérot cavity laser diodes. A subsequent wet etching in a tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide solution not only effectively removed the damages induced by the dry etching, but also converted the rough and tilted slot sidewalls into smooth and vertical ones. As a result, the threshold current was reduced by over 20%, and the reverse leakage current was decreased by over three orders of magnitude. Therefore, the room-temperature electrically pumped narrow-linewidth GaN-on-Si laser diode has been successfully demonstrated.

An ultra-narrow linewidth solution-processed organic laser.

Project description:Optically pumped lasers based on solution-processed thin-film gain media have recently emerged as low-cost, broadly tunable, and versatile active photonics components that can fit any substrate and are useful for, e.g., chemo- or biosensing or visible spectroscopy. Although single-mode operation has been demonstrated in various resonator architectures with a large variety of gain media-including dye-doped polymers, organic semiconductors, and, more recently, hybrid perovskites-the reported linewidths are typically on the order of a fraction of a nanometer or broader, i.e., the coherence lengths are no longer than a few millimeters, which does not enable high-resolution spectroscopy or coherent sensing. The linewidth is fundamentally constrained by the short photon cavity lifetime in the standard resonator geometries. We demonstrate here a novel structure for an organic thin-film solid-state laser that is based on a vertical external cavity, wherein a holographic volume Bragg grating ensures both spectral selection and output coupling in an otherwise very compact (?cm3) design. Under short-pulse (0.4 ns) pumping, Fourier-transform-limited laser pulses are obtained, with a full width at half-maximum linewidth of 900 MHz (1.25 pm). Using 20-ns-long pump pulses, the linewidth can be further reduced to 200 MHz (0.26 pm), which is four times above the Fourier limit and corresponds to an unprecedented coherence length of 1 m. The concept is potentially transferrable to any type of thin-film laser and can be ultimately made tunable; it also represents a very compact alternative to bulky grating systems in dye lasers.

Room-temperature continuous-wave electrically pumped InGaN/GaN quantum well blue laser diode directly grown on Si.

Project description:Current laser-based display and lighting applications are invariably using blue laser diodes (LDs) grown on free-standing GaN substrates, which are costly and smaller in size compared with other substrate materials.1-3 Utilizing less expensive and large-diameter Si substrates for hetero-epitaxial growth of indium gallium nitride/gallium nitride (InGaN/GaN) multiple quantum well (MQW) structure can substantially reduce the cost of blue LDs and boost their applications. To obtain a high crystalline quality crack-free GaN thin film on Si for the subsequent growth of a blue laser structure, a hand-shaking structure was formed by inserting Al-composition step down-graded AlN/AlxGa1-xN buffer layers between GaN and Si substrate. Thermal degradation in InGaN/GaN blue MQWs was successfully suppressed with indium-rich clusters eliminated by introducing hydrogen during the growth of GaN quantum barriers (QBs) and lowering the growth temperature for the p-type AlGaN/GaN superlattice optical cladding layer. A continuous-wave (CW) electrically pumped InGaN/GaN quantum well (QW) blue (450 nm) LD grown on Si was successfully demonstrated at room temperature (RT) with a threshold current density of 7.8 kA/cm2.

Theoretical and Experimental Study on AlGaN/GaN Schottky Barrier Diode on Si Substrate with Double-Heterojunction.

Project description:An AlGaN/GaN Schottky barrier diode (SBD) with double-heterojunction is theoretically and experimentally investigated on the GaN/AlGaN/GaN/Si-sub. The two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) and electron gas (2DEG) are formed at the GaN-top/AlGaN and AlGaN/GaN interface, respectively. At the off-state, the 2DEH and 2DHG are partially depleted and then completely disappear. There remain the fixed positive and negative polarization charges, forming the polarization junction. Therefore, a flat electric field in the drift region and a high breakdown voltage (BV) are obtained. Moreover, the anode is recessed to reduce turn-on voltage (VON). The low-damage ICP etching process results in the improved Schottky contacts, and a low leakgae current and a low VON is obtained. The fabricated SBD exhibits a BV of 1109?V with anode-to-cathode distance (LAC) of 11??m. The fabricated SBDs achieve a low VON of 0.68?V with good uniformity, a high on/off current ratio ? 1010 at room temperature, a low specific on-resistance (RON,SP) of 1.17 m? cm2, and a high Baliga's figure-of-merit (FOM) of 1051?MW/cm2.

400 mW narrow-linewidth Tm-doped silica fiber laser output near 1750 nm with volume Bragg grating.

Project description:A type of Tm-doped silica fiber laser with narrow-linewidth and output wavelength near 1750 nm was firstly presented, by using a 1550 nm Er-doped fiber laser pump source and a volume Bragg grating (VBG). By means of a 15 cm Tm-doped fiber, a 400 mW continuous wave (cw) at ~1750 nm with FWHW of ~54 pm was generated, corresponding to an average slope efficiency up to 23.5% with respect to absorbed pump power. The influence of gain fiber length on the spectrum wavelength has been investigated in detail. All experimental results demonstrate that this fiber laser will be an effective and promising pump source for mid-IR laser output.

Femtosecond Thin-Film Laser Amplifiers Using Chirped Gratings.

Project description:Ultrafast injection-locked amplification is achieved by sending femtosecond supercontinuum pulses into a polymeric thin film coated on a distributed feedback (DFB) microcavity consisting of chirped gratings. The spatial variation of the grating period led to the resonance of the DFB microcavity at different wavelengths for injection at different locations. This enables convenient and continuous tuning of the amplification spectrum by displacing the grating structures. The large area of the grating structures enabled large tuning range. The amplified spectrum can be continuously tuned from 545 to 580 nm through sliding the grating structures by about 3.5 mm. Sub-1 ps lifetime has been measured for the amplification process with a net amplification factor as large as 33. Injection locking enabled high-quality control of the divergence and transverse mode of the output laser beam.

Stimulus-induced Robust Narrow-band Gamma Oscillations in Human EEG Using Cartesian Gratings.

Project description:Stimulus-induced narrow-band gamma oscillations (20-70 Hz) are induced in the visual areas of the brain when particular visual stimuli, such as bars, gratings, or full-screen hue, are shown to the subject. Such oscillations are modulated by higher cognitive functions, like attention, and working memory, and have been shown to be abnormal in certain neuropsychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, autism, and Alzheimer's disease. However, although electroencephalogram (EEG) remains one of the most non-invasive, inexpensive, and accessible methods to record brain signals, some studies have failed to observe discernable gamma oscillations in human EEG. In this manuscript, we have described in detail a protocol to elicit robust gamma oscillations in human EEG. We believe that our protocol could help in developing non-invasive gamma-based biomarkers in human EEG, for the early detection of neuropsychiatric disorders.

Dichroic Optical Diode Transmission in Two Dislocated Parallel Metallic Gratings.

Project description:An optical diode structure with two dislocated parallel metallic gratings is proposed and investigated numerically. Dichroic optical diode transmission is realized in this structure, i.e., optical diode effect is observed in two wavebands corresponding to inverse transmission directions. In the structure, two parallel metallic gratings with different grating constants are separated by a dielectric slab in between. The first illuminated grating acts as a selector for exciting surface plasmons at a proper wavelength. The other grating acts as an emitter to realize optical transmission. When the incident direction is reversed, the roles of two gratings exchange and surface plasmons are excited at another wavelength. In dichroic transmission wavebands, the optical diode structure exhibits extraordinary transmission and possesses high optical isolation up to 1. Furthermore, the operating wavebands can be modulated by changing structure parameters.

A Potential Plasmonic Biosensor Based Asymmetric Metal Ring Cavity with Extremely Narrow Linewidth and High Sensitivity.

Project description:To achieve high sensitivity and multi-mode sensing characteristics based on the plasmon effect, we explored a high-sensitivity refractive index sensor structure with narrow linewidth and high absorption characteristics based on theoretical analysis. The sensor structure is composed of periodic asymmetric ring cavity array, spacer layer and metal thin-film layer. The reflection spectrum of this structure shows six resonance modes in the wavelength range from visible to near-infrared. The sensor performance was optimized based on the change of the sensor structure parameters combining the simulation data, and the results shown that this kind of asymmetric laminated structure sensor has good sensing performance. In theory, it can be combined with microfluidic technology to achieve sensing detection of diverse test samples, multi-mode and multi-component, which has great potential in the field of biosensing.

Optical Spin Polarization of a Narrow-Linewidth Electron-Spin Qubit in a Chromophore/Stable-Radical System.

Project description:Photoexcited organic chromophores appended to stable radicals can serve as qubit and/or qudit candidates for quantum information applications. 1,6,7,12-Tetra-(4-tert-butylphenoxy)-perylene-3,4 : 9,10-bis(dicarboximide) (tpPDI) linked to a partially deuterated α,γ-bisdiphenylene-β-phenylallyl radical (BDPA-d16 ) was synthesized and characterized by time-resolved optical and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies. Photoexcitation of tpPDI-BDPA-d16 results in ultrafast radical-enhanced intersystem crossing to produce a quartet state (Q) followed by formation of a spin-polarized doublet ground state (D0 ). Pulse-EPR experiments confirmed the spin multiplicity of Q and yielded coherence times of Tm =2.1±0.1 μs and 2.8±0.2 μs for Q and D0 , respectively. BDPA-d16 eliminates the dominant 1 H hyperfine couplings, resulting in a single narrow line for both the Q and D0 states, which enhances the spectral resolution needed for good qubit addressability.

Semiconductor diode laser device adjuvanting intradermal vaccine.

Project description:A brief exposure of skin to a low-power, non-tissue damaging laser light has been demonstrated to augment immune responses to intradermal vaccination. Both preclinical and clinical studies show that this approach is simple, effective, safe and well tolerated compared to standard chemical or biological adjuvants. Until now, these laser exposures have been performed using a diode-pumped solid-state laser (DPSSL) devices, which are expensive and require labor-intensive maintenance and special training. Development of an inexpensive, easy-to-use and small device would form an important step in translating this technology toward clinical application. Here we report that we have established a handheld, near-infrared (NIR) laser device using semiconductor diodes emitting either 1061, 1258, or 1301nm light that costs less than $4000, and that this device replicates the adjuvant effect of a DPSSL system in a mouse model of influenza vaccination. Our results also indicate that a broader range of NIR laser wavelengths possess the ability to enhance vaccine immune responses, allowing engineering options for the device design. This small, low-cost device establishes the feasibility of using a laser adjuvant approach for mass-vaccination programs in a clinical setting, opens the door for broader testing of this technology with a variety of vaccines and forms the foundation for development of devices ready for use in the clinic.
