Nanobeam photonic bandedge lasers.
We demonstrate one-dimensional nanobeam photonic bandedge lasers with InGaAsP quantum wells at room temperature from the lowest dielectric band of photonic crystal nanobeam waveguides. The incident optical power at threshold is 0.6 mW (effectively ~18 μW). To confirm the lasing from the dielectric bandedge, the polarization and the photoluminescent spectra are taken from nanobeams of varying la...
متن کاملVoltage-Controllable Liquid Crystals Lens
This study investigates a voltage-controllable liquid crystals lens with a Fresnel zone electrode. When applying a proper voltage on the liquid crystal cell, a Fresnel-zone-distributed electric field is induced to direct liquid crystals aligned in a concentric structure. Owing to the concentrically aligned liquid crystals, a Fresnel lens is formed. We probe the Fresnel liquid crystal lens using...
متن کاملCompact and low power consumption tunable photonic crystal nanobeam cavity.
A proof-of-concept for a new and entirely CMOS compatible tunable nanobeam cavity is demonstrated in this paper. Preliminary results show that a compact nanobeam cavity (~20 μm(2)) with high Q-factor (~50,000) and integrated with a micro-heater atop, is able of tuning the resonant wavelength up to 15 nm with low power consumption (0.35nm/mW), and of attaining high modulation depth with only ~10...
متن کاملLasing Thresholds of Cholesteric Liquid Crystals Lasers
Cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) are one dimensional photonic band-gap materials. Due to distributed feedback, low threshold mirrorless lasing can occur in dye-doped and pure CLCs. In order to optimize the lasing conditions, we have studied the dependence of the lasing threshold on dye concentration and sample thickness. In particular, we have studied dye concentrations in the range of 0.1-3....
متن کاملTunable Filters from Lyotropic Liquid Crystals
The external field influence on the birefringence of the liquid crystalline layer is expressed by using the Cauchy dispersion equation. The basically theoretical elements of the polarization interferential filters of Lyot Ohmann and Wood type, achieved in a multilayer geometry, are given in this paper. The expressions corresponding to the transmitted maxima and to the spectral bandwidths of the...
