Otto-coupled surface plasmons in a liquid crystal cell
Surface plasmons on silver in the visible domain are excited using a several micron thick layer of liquid crystal as the optical tunnel barrier. This thickness is possible when the orientation of the ...

High optical quality, well end leg faceted ZnO microtetrapods sustaining lasing modes with quality factors of 2500–3000 have been grown by carbothermal chemical vapor deposition. It is shown that lasing is due to longitudinal Fabry–Pérot modes in individual tetrapod legs and the analysis of the wavelength position of these modes is an effective instrument for the investigation of temperature dependence of the refractive index dispersion in the region of exciton resonances. The dispersion of the ZnO refractive index is experimentally determined in the temperature interval from 10 to 300 K and is compared with available literature data. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
