چکیده
The Top-Hat hot electron light emission and lasing in semiconductor heterostructure (HELLISH)-vertical-cavity semiconductor optical amplifier (THH-VCSOA) is a bidirectional light-emitting and light-absorbing heterojunction device.The device contains 11 Ga0.35In0.65 N0.02As0.08/GaAs MQWs in its intrinsic active region which is enclosed between six pairs of AlAs/GaAs top distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) and 20.5 pairs of AlAs/GaAs bottom DBR mirrors. The THH-VCSOA is fabricated using a four-contact configuration. The wavelength conversion with amplification is achieved by the appropriate biasing of the absorption and emission regions within the device. Absorption and emission regions may be reversed by changing the polarity of the applied voltage. Emission wavelength is about 1,300 nm and a maximum gain at this wavelength is around 5 dB at T = 300 K.

By introducing a thin ZnO layer as an optical spacer, we have demonstrated that inserting this layer between an active layer and a reflective electrode results in a re-distribution of the optical electric field inside bulk heterojunction solar cells. A theoretical analysis by optical modeling showed that the thin ZnO layer could shift the position of the maximum of the electric field into the a...
