Direct Measurement of Population-Induced Broadening of Quantum Well Intersubband Transitions
Yuanjian Xu,Gilad Almogy,John D. O'Brien,Ali Shakouri,Weihua Xu,Randal A. Salvatore,Amnon Yariv +6 more
TL;DR: The dependence of the absorption spectral linewidth of quantum well intersubband transitions on the electron population in the well is experimentally demonstrated in this article, and it is shown that the dependence of spectral linwidth on the population is substantial and accounts for some of the broadening previously attributed to donor scattering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Higher-order QAM data transmission using a high-coherence hybrid Si/III–V semiconductor laser
Kaiheng Zou,Zhewei Zhang,Peicheng Liao,Huolei Wang,Yinwen Cao,Ahmed Almaiman,Ahmad Fallahpour,Fatemeh Alishahi,Naresh Satyan,George Rakuljic,Moshe Tur,Amnon Yariv,Alan E. Willner +12 more
TL;DR: The use of a high-coherence hybrid silicon (Si)/III-V semiconductor laser as the light source for a transmitter generating 20 Gbaud 16- and 64- quadrature amplitude modulated (QAM) data signals over an 80 km single-mode fiber (SMF) link is experimentally demonstrated.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Light-induced absorption in photorefractive strontium-barium niobate
TL;DR: In this paper, the light-induced absorption through pump-probe measurement at relatively low optical power densities in photorefractive strontium barium niobate (SBN):60 and SBN:75 was investigated.

Arrangement for damping the resonance in a laser diode
TL;DR: In this paper, an arrangement for damping the resonance in a laser diode includes an additional layer (25) which together with the conventional diode form a structure (35) of a bipolar transistor.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Noise Investigation of Tunnel-Diode Microwave Amplifiers
Amnon Yariv,J. S. Cook +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis and derivation of the noise figure of a tunnel-diode microwave amplifier is presented, and the agreement between the measured noise figure and the theoretical results is an indirect check on the existence of full shot noise in germanium tunnel diodes at microwave frequencies.
