Prospects and merits of metal-clad semiconductor lasers from nearly UV to far IR.
Using metal-clad (or plasmonic) waveguide structures in semiconductor lasers carries a promise of reduced size, threshold, and power consumption. This promise is put to a rigorous theoretical test, that takes into account increased waveguide loss, Auger recombination, and Purcell enhancement of spontaneous recombination. The conclusion is that purported benefits of metal waveguides are small to...
متن کاملTemperature Dependences of Metal-Clad Subwavelength Semiconductor Lasers (MCSELs): Geometric Invariance and the Spontaneous Emission Factor
We perform two analyses on temperature effects in Metal-Clad Subwavelength Semiconductor Lasers (MCSELs). Firstly, we analyze the temperature dependence of the threshold gain in the infinite waveguide approximation. We show that the dielectric layer of the semiconductor-dielectric-metal composite waveguide (CWG) becomes increasingly important as temperature increases. However, we further show t...
متن کاملMid-IR Semiconductor Lasers for Chemical Sensing
The development of mid-IR semiconductor diode lasers based on type-I1 interband cascade structures is presented. How these diode lasers can be developed to meet the requirements in chemical sensing applications is discussed.
متن کاملModelling High-z Galaxies from the Far-uv to the Far-ir
In this paper, we report on a first estimate of the contribution of galaxies to the diffuse extragalactic background from the far-UV to the submm, based on semi–analytic models of galaxy formation and evolution. We conclude that the global multi–wavelength picture seems to be consistent provided a quite important fraction of star–formation be hidden in dust–enshrouded systems at intermediate an...
متن کاملProspects for Solar Pumped Semiconductor Lasers
Approaches are discussed for a direct solar-pumped semiconductor laser. Efficiencies of 35% should be achievable, an order of magnitude better than the efficiency achieved by other solar-pumped lasers. The output wavelength of a semiconductor laser will be well matched to the optimum conversion efficiency of a solar cell of the same material. Solar pumped semiconductor lasers are thus an excell...
