Analytical Investigation of Frequency Behavior in Tunnel Injection Quantum Dot VCSEL
Authors
Abstract:
The frequency behavior of the tunnel injection quantum dot vertical cavitysurface emitting laser (TIQD-VCSEL) is investigated by using an analyticalnumericalmethod on the modulation transfer function. The function is based on therate equations and is decomposed into components related to different energy levelsinside the quantum dot and injection well. In this way, the effect of the tunnelingprocess on the improvement of the laser frequency response is determined. Generally,the components of the modulation transfer function in the wetting layer and the excitedstate limit the total laser bandwidth. Of course, the component associated with thetunneling process increases overall system bandwidth. It is shown that for currentsabove threshold, the carrier density at the excited state in TIQD has a slight slope,unlike the conventional quantum dot (CQD). It will improve the frequency response ofthe tunnel injection structure. It can be attributed to the difference in Pauli blockingfactor values at the excited state and the ground state in the two structures.

Tunnel-injection GaN quantum dot ultraviolet light-emitting diodes
We demonstrate a GaN quantum dot ultraviolet light-emitting diode that uses tunnel injection of carriers through AlN barriers into the active region. The quantum dot heterostructure is grown by molecular beam epitaxy on AlN templates. The large lattice mismatch between GaN and AlN favors the formation of GaN quantum dots in the Stranski-Krastanov growth mode. Carrier injection by tunneling can ...

Bilayer graphene has recently earned great attention for its unique electronic properties and commendable use in electronic applications. Here, we report the observation of quantum dot (QD) behaviors in bilayer graphene nanoribbons (BL-GNRs). The periodic Coulomb oscillations indicate the formation of a single quantum dot within the BL-GNR because of the broad distribution function of the carri...

Graphene nanoribbons display an imperfectly understood transport gap. We measure transport through nanoribbon devices of several lengths. In long (>/=250 nm) nanoribbons we observe transport through multiple quantum dots in series, while shorter (</=60 nm) constrictions display behavior characteristic of single and double quantum dots. New measurements indicate that dot size may scale with cons...

Combining theoretical and experimental studies show that optical injection strongly changes the behavior of the linewidth enhancement factor (α(H)-factor) and the FM-to-AM indices ratio (FAIR) in quantum dash/dot semiconductor lasers. In contrast to solitary lasers, both the α(H)-factor and the FAIR at low-frequency modulation are reduced by optical injection. At high modulation frequency, howe...
