Previous Article
Analysis of defects in an electric and photonic double-layer substrate made by separation-by-implanted-oxygen three-dimensional sculpting
With a view to application to electric-device fabrication, the authors investigated a separation-by-implanted-oxygen (SIMOX) three-dimensional (3D) sculpting method [P. Koonath et al., Appl. Phys. Let...

Single-mode room-temperature emission with a silicon rod lattice
The authors experimentally evidence an increase of light emission efficiency at room temperature in a silicon-on-insulator photonic crystal. The photonic crystal is made of a triangular lattice of sil...

The authors use high-resolution charge-coupled device based thermoreflectance to derive two dimensional facet temperature maps of a lambda=1.55  µm InGaAsP/InP watt-class laser that has a large (>5×5  µm2) fundamental optical mode. Recognizing that temperature rise in the laser will lead to refractive index increase, they use the measured temperature profiles as an input to a finite-element mode solver, predicting bias-dependent spatial mode behavior that agrees well with experimental observations. These results demonstrate the general usefulness of high-resolution thermal imaging for studying spatial mode dynamics in photonic devices. ©2006 American Institute of Physics
