Modified spontaneous emission properties of CdS quantum dots embedded in novel three-dimensional microcavities
Modified spontaneous emission properties in the presence of confined photon modes inside the three-dimensional (3-D.) optical microcavities are demonstrated. Self-formed pyramidal-shaped semiconductor structures fabricated by selective-area growth technique are utilized as an optical microcavity in which discrete photon modes are generated. Noticeable modification of spontaneous emission from a...
متن کاملControlling the Occurrence of Rogue Waves in an Optically Injected Semiconductor Laser via Changing The Injection Strength
The rouge waves in an optically injected semiconductor lasers are receiving a lot of interest. In this work, the generating and controlling of the rogue waves in semiconductor lasers have been investigated. For this purpose, the laser’s rate equations are solved numerically in a specified time interval, then the field amplitude and the intensity versus time are calculated and analyzed. To solve...
متن کاملFinite-Difference Time-Domain Calculation of the Spontaneous Emission Coupling Factor in Optical Microcavities
We present a general method for the factor calculation in optical microcavities. The analysis is based on the classical model for atomic transitions in a semiconductor active medium. The finite-difference time-domain method is used to evolve the electromagnetic fields of the system and calculate the total radiated energy, as well as the energy radiated into the mode of interest. We analyze the ...
متن کاملPolaritons in semiconductor microcavities : effect of Bragg confinement
We propose a semiconductor microcavity structure in which the cavity layer is entirely both optically and electronically active. Optical spectra at normal incidence are studied theoretically, showing the drastic effects of the cavity polariton mode splitting and of the Bragg mirror confinement.
متن کاملTopologically trapped vortex molecules in Bose-Einstein condensates
In a numerical experiment based on Gross-Pitaevskii formalism, we demonstrate unique topological quantum coherence in optically trapped Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). Exploring the fact that vortices in rotating BEC can be pinned by a geometric arrangement of laser beams, we show the parameter range in which vortex-antivortex molecules or multiquantum vortices are formed as a consequence of ...
