Enhancing ultraviolet spontaneous emission with a designed quantum vacuum: erratum.
We present a correction to parts of Fig. 5, Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, relating to the Purcell factors and Lamb shifts, due to an incorrect renormalization used in our custom Fortran code. The resulting corrections to some of the Q-factors are large, but do not affect the conclusions of the original manuscript.
متن کاملHybrid Silicon Nanophotonic Devices: Enhancing Light Emission, Modulation, and Confinement
Silicon has become an increasingly important photonic material for communications, information processing, and sensing applications. Silicon is inexpensive compared to compound semiconductors, and it is well suited for confining and guiding light at standard telecommunication wavelengths due to its large refractive index and minimal intrinsic absorption. Furthermore, silicon-based optical devic...
متن کاملGold nanorods and nanospheroids for enhancing spontaneous emission
We compute the radiative decay rate and the quantum efficiency for an emitter coupled to gold nanorods and nanospheroids using the bodyof-revolution finite-difference time-domain method. We study these quantities as a function of the nanoparticle aspect ratio and volume, showing that large enhancements can be achieved with realistic parameters. Moreover, we find that nanospheroids exhibit bette...
متن کاملEnhancing light emission of ZnO microwire-based diodes by piezo-phototronic effect.
Light emission from semiconductors depends not only on the efficiency of carrier injection and recombination but also extraction efficiency. For ultraviolet emission from high band gap materials such as ZnO, nanowires have higher extraction efficiencies than thin films, but conventional approaches for creating a p-n diode result in low efficiency. We exploited the noncentral symmetric nature of...
متن کاملEnhancing spontaneous emission rates of molecules using nanopatterned multilayer hyperbolic metamaterials.
Plasmonic nanostructures have been extensively used to manipulate the spontaneous light emission rate of molecules and their radiative efficiency. Because molecules near a metallic surface experience a different environment than in free space, their spontaneous radiative emission rate is generally enhanced. Such enhancement, measured by means of the Purcell factor, arises as a consequence of th...
