Temperature-Insensitive Semiconductor Laser

The Semiconductor Laser

Chaos is a fundamental property that possesses nonlinearity and a sensitive dependence on initial conditions. Because of the nonlinearity in a chaotic system it becomes very difficult to make accurate predictions about the system over a given time interval. Weather forecasting is an example of how chaos theory effects the accuracy of predictions over a given time interval. Through analyzing a w...

Indoor radon entry: 30 years later

The paper discusses the results of 30 years of radon indoor entry research. While some progress has been made, many discrepancies between current theories and experimental data still remain. Misconceptions of radon transport mechanisms in homes are analyzed. The role of US Environmental Protection Agency in radon indoor entry research is examined and the agency's policies are criticize...

Multiwavelength Modelocked Semiconductor Diode Laser

Semiconductor nanowire ring resonator laser.

Nanowires of the wide band-gap semiconductor gallium nitride (GaN) have been shown to act as room-temperature uv lasers. Recent advances in nanomanipulation have made it possible to modify the shape of these structures from a linear to a pseudoring conformation. Changes to the optical boundary conditions of the lasing cavity affect the structure's photoluminescence, photon confinement, and lasi...
