Tunable 90-ps 15.6-17.6-microm coherent radiation was generated by means of difference-frequency mixing in diffusion-bonded-stacked GaAs. The sample consisted of 24 alternately rotated layers with a total length of 6 mm and with low optical loss to achieve third-order quasi-phase matching. The wavelength-tuning curve was close to the theoretical prediction, demonstrating that the bonding proces...

We propose a procedure for transferring the state a microwave qubit via a transmission line from one resonator to another resonator, with a theoretical efficiency arbitrarily close to 100%. The emission and capture of the microwave energy is performed using tunable couplers, whose transmission coefficients vary in time. Using the superconducting phase qubit technology and tunable couplers with ...

The thickness and porosity of TiO2 mesoporous film were optimized for better distribution of quantum dots to enhance the performance of CdS/CdSe quantum dot cosensitized solar cells. The CdS and CdSe quantum dots were prepared on TiO2 mesoporous film through a successive ion layer absorption and reaction (SILAR) method and a chemical bath deposition (CBD) method, respectively. It was found that...

In the current work, the effect of surface morphology on light emission property and absorption behavior of quasi-columnar macro-porous silicon (PS) was investigated. PS structures with different morphology were synthesized using photo-electrochemical etching method by applying different etching current densities. SEM micrographs showed that empty macro-pores size and porosity of PS layers were...

Thermally stable zinc(II) Schiff base polymers (decomposition temperature up to 461 degrees C; M(n)= 13580 to 20440) formed by self-assembly reactions of zinc(II) salts and salicylaldimine monomers exhibit blue to yellow PL with quantum yields up to 0.34 in DMF; PLEDs employing these polymers as emitters give green or orange EL with turn-on voltage at 5 and 6 V and maximum efficiency of 2.0 and...

Intersubband electroluminescence has been investigated in a quantum cascade structure based on vertical transition designed for far-infrared (l588 mm) emission. A narrow luminescence peak with a full width at half maximum of 0.7 meV is measured at low excitation currents ~30 A/cm! and low temperature (T55 K). The electroluminescence efficiency exhibits a strong temperature and current dependenc...

Experiments in coherent spectroscopy correspond to control of quantum mechanical ensembles guiding them from initial to final target states. The control inputs (pulse sequences) that accomplish these transformations should be designed to minimize the effects of relaxation and to optimize the sensitivity of the experiments. For example in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, a question...

Here we report the synthesis and electrophosphorescence of a new deep-red phosphorescent Ir(III) complex with spatially embracing and thus solubilizing arylsilyl-substituted ligands, Ir(III) tris(2-(2'-benzo[b]thienyl)-5-(4'-triphenylsilylphenyl)pyridinato-N,C3'). A poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) film doped with this Ir(III) complex exhibited excellent phase homogeneity and showed saturated red e...
