Influence of InAs, AlAs delta layers on the optical, electronic, and thermal characteristics of strain-compensated GaInAs/AlInAs quantum-cascade lasers
We extracted the electronic temperatures, the thermal resistance (RL=11.5  K/W), the cross-plane thermal conductivity [k=2.0±0.1  W/(K  m)], and the thermal bounda...

Enhancement and reduction of line broadening due to Auger scattering in modulation-doped InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot devices
We calculate the line broadening of various Auger processes in modulation-doped InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot (QD) semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs), involving scattering of carriers between wetting-l...

Amorphous silicon is deposited within optical fibers by a high pressure microfluidic deposition process and characterized via Raman spectroscopy. All-optical modulation of 1.55  µm light guided through the silicon core is demonstrated using the free carrier absorption generated by a 532  nm pump pulse. Modulation depths of up to 8.26  dB and modulation frequencies of up to 1.4  MHz are demonstrated. ©2007 American Institute of Physics
