A novel laser that utilizes a silicon waveguide bonded to AlGaInAs quantum wells is demonstrated. This wafer scale fabrication approach allows the optical waveguide to be defined by CMOS-compatible silicon processing while optical gain is provided by III-V materials. The AlGaInAs quantum well structure is bonded to the silicon wafer using low temperature oxygen plasma-assisted wafer bonding. Th...

We present a highly coherent semiconductor laser device formed by a 1⁄2-VCSEL structure and an external concave mirror in a millimetre high finesse stable cavity. The quantum well structure is diode-pumped by a commercial single mode GaAs laser diode system. This free running low noise tunable single-frequency laser exhibits >50mW output power in a low divergent circular TEM beam with a spectra...

We report a single layer InAs/InP (100) quantum dot (QD) laser operating in continuous wave mode at room temperature on the QD ground state transition grown by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy. The necessary high QD density is achieved by growing the QDs on a thin InAs quantum well (QW). This QDs on QW laser exhibits a high slope efficiency and a lasing wavelength of 1.74 μm. An extremely long...

Achieving high-fidelity control of quantum systems is of fundamental importance in physics, chemistry and quantum information sciences. However, the successful implementation of a high-fidelity quantum control scheme also requires robustness against control field fluctuations. Here, we demonstrate a robust optimization method for control of quantum systems by optimizing the spectral phase of an...

Oscillatory mode coupling between two coherent laser beams is produced when an interference pattern moves against a quasi-static electrically strobed grating in a photorefractive AlGaAs/GaAs multiple-quantum-well diode operated in the quantum-confined Stark geometry. The oscillation frequency is equal to the frequency difference between the two laser beams and provides a method to measure high-...

static properties, relatively intensity noise and intensity modulation response in quantum cascade lasers (qcls) studied theoretically in this paper. the present rate equations model consists of three equations for the electrons density in the conduction band and one equation for photons density in cavity length. two equations were derived to calculate the noise and modulation response. calcula...

In order to use molecular vibrations for quantum information processing one should be able to shape infrared laser pulses so that they can play the role of accurate quantum gates and drive the required vibrational transitions. In this paper we studied theoretically how the relative phase of the optimized transitions affects accuracy of the quantum gates in such a system. Optimal control theory ...

We theoretically analyze the temporal dynamics of strongly coupled quantum-dot–cavity system driven by a resonant laser pulse and observe the signature of Rabi oscillation in the time-resolved response of the system (i.e., in the numerically calculated cavity output). We derive simplified linear and nonlinear semiclassical models that approximate well the system’s behavior in the limits of high...
