Article Abstract

Quantum-dot (QD) and quantum-dash (QDash) have been shown to be promising gain materials for lasers directly grown on Si due to their better tolerance to crystal defects and thermal stability. Here we report optically pumped InP-based InAs QDash microdisk lasers (MDLs) directly grown on on-axis (001) Si. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of room-temperature continuous-wave lasing of a QDash MDL on Si in the C band and L band. To the best of our knowledge, the lowest threshold of around 400 µW and highest operation temperature of 323 K have been achieved. An analysis of experimental results shows that the dominant lasing wavelength of MDLs varies with the thickness and diameter of the MDLs. Our demonstration shows potential application of MDLs for multi-channel operation in densely integrated Si-photonics.

Organic luminescent diradicals have recently attracted more attention for their potential applications in quantum science. Here, we have investigated the spin dynamic properties of two solid-state Müller- and Chichibabin-type Kekulé diradicals featuring different distances between two radical centers. The continuous-wave EPR (cw-EPR) together with echo-detected field-swept spectrum (EDFS) prove the existence of a thermally accessible triplet state at room temperature, promising a potential candidate for quantum manipulation as a high-spin state.

In this work, we present a high-performance tapered quantum cascade laser (QCL) designed to achieve both high output power and low divergence angle. By integrating a tapered waveguide with a Fabry-Perot structure, significant improvements of tapered QCL devices in both output power and beam quality are demonstrated. The optimized 50 µm wide tapered QCL achieved a maximum output power of 2.

Magnetometry with nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond has so far been measured via emission of light from NV centers or via absorption at the singlet transition at 1042 nm. Here, we demonstrate a phenomenon of broadband optical absorption by the NV centers starting in the emission wavelength and reaching up to 1000 nm. The measurements are enabled by a high-finesse cavity, which is used for room-temperature continuous wave pump-probe experiments.

To the best of our knowledge, we report on the mode-locking of the mixed sesquioxide single crystal Yb:YScO for the first time. The spectra of Yb ions in this crystal were studied at both room temperature and low temperature. A continuous-wave laser output at 1080 nm was achieved using a fiber-coupled semiconductor laser, with a pump wavelength of 976 nm, in the Yb:YScO crystal, yielding a maximum output power of 7.

The first room-temperature continuous-wave operation of InAs/GaAs quantum dot (QD) photonic crystal surface-emitting laser (PCSEL) has been demonstrated based on the triple-lattice structure. The triple-lattice resonator allows the PCSEL to have sufficiently low optical loss to lase even with a compact photonic crystal (PC) size of 100 μm × 100 μm. The fabricated QD-PCSEL exhibits a threshold current of 139 mA and a side-mode suppression ratio (SMSR) of 37 dB.
