A time resolved study of the behavior of a single beam in photorefractive iron doped indium phosphide is provided down to the microsecond range, showing that infrared beam bending does occur on the micro-second time scale for moderate beam intensities. Two distinct time scales are evidenced, the behavior of which are the sign of two different photorefractive mechanisms.

We demonstrate a reversibly tunable photonic crystal quantum dot laser using a photochromic thin film. The laser is composed of a photonic crystal cavity with a bare cavity Q as high as 4500 coupled to a high density ensemble of indium arsenide quantum dots. By depositing a thin layer of photochromic material on the photonic crystal cavities, the laser can be optically tuned smoothly and revers...

A series of (±)- and (R,R)-tridentate diamino, ortho/para disubstituted phenolate proligands H(NNO(R)) with various phenolate substituents was synthesized and used to prepare indium dichloride complexes (NNO(R))InCl2via salt metathesis of the deprotonated ligands with indium trichloride. These complexes are dinuclear in the solid state, in contrast to previously reported complexes with t-butyl ...

In our continuous wave cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CW-CRDS) experiments, we have often observed that the decay time constant drops to a lower value at some cavity lengths or some intercavity pressures. The resulting instabilities lead to a reduction in the sensitivity of our CRDS system. We have deduced that the cause of this noise is the coupling between the TEM(00) mode that the laser exci...

Graphene exhibits remarkable properties for various novel applications. One of many appealing applications of graphene would be to fabricate transparent conductive films to replace indium tinoxide (ITO).Theuseof graphene is promisingdue to its high optical transmittance, low resistance, high chemical stability, and high mechanical strength. This, as well as other applications, requires a large ...

Indium(III) sulfide has recently attracted much attention due to its potential in optical sensors as a photoconducting material and in photovoltaic applications as a wide band gap material. On the other hand, optical absorption properties are key parameters in developing photosensitive photodetectors and efficient solar cells. In this work, we show that indium sulfide nanorod arrays produced by...

We report novel indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) nanopillar lasers that are monolithically grown on (100)-silicon-based functional metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) at low temperature (410 °C). The MOSFETs maintain their performance after the nanopillar growth, providing a direct demonstration of complementary metal-oxide-semiconudctor (CMOS) compatibility. Room-tempe...

Recent developments in nanophotonics have provided a clear roadmap for improving the efficiency of photonic devices through control over absorption and emission of devices.
