TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral tunability of properly designed quantum well lasers is demonstrated to equal the range of dye lasers, and theoretical and measured gain spectra are presented to support this statement.
Abstract: The spectral tunability of properly designed quantum well lasers is demonstrated to equal the range of dye lasers. Theoretical and measured gain spectra are presented to support this statement, and stepwise wavelength tuning over a 125 nm span in GaAs/AlGaAs lasers and 175 nm in InGaAs/AlGaAs lasers are shown.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the periodic space charge field can spatially modulate the ferroelectric polarization in materials which possess a coercive field of the order of the space charge fields.
Abstract: Light interference patterns can photoexcite mobile charge and generate periodic space charge fields with periods of typically 01 to 100 microns in photorefractive crystals The space charge field attains values of 01 to 1 kV cm/sup -1/ in ferroelectrics such as Sr/sub 075/Ba/sub 025/Nb/sub 2/O/sub 6/ (SBN:75) A fundamental question is whether these periodic space charge fields can spatially modulate the ferroelectric polarization in materials which possess a coercive field of the order of the space charge field We present experimental evidence demonstrating that this is indeed the case in SBN:75 We observe dynamic domain gratings, which form simultaneously with the build up of the space charge field, and remnant domain gratings, which persist long after the space charge field disappears >

TL;DR: In this article, sideband locking of single section DFB semiconductor lasers in heterodyne optical phase-lock Loops is demonstrated, eliminating the loop bandwidth limitation imposed by the phase reversal of the frequency modulation response of the lasers.

TL;DR: In this article, an asymptotic analysis of modal dispersion, field distribution, and propagation loss of Bragg fibers is presented, and the design considerations of the Bragg fiber are discussed.
Abstract: An asymptotic analysis is developed to calculate the modal dispersion, field distribution, and propagation loss of Bragg fibers. The design considerations of Bragg fibers are also discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of multimode waveguides where several modes are coupled via quasiperiodic perturbations is presented, and the supermodes (or eigenmodes) of the structure are derived and orthonormality considerations are discussed.
Abstract: An analysis of multimode waveguides where several modes are coupled via quasiperiodic perturbations is presented. The supermodes (or eigenmodes) of the structure are derived and orthonormality considerations are discussed. In addition, a new type of mode converter between copropagating modes is proposed, where mode conversion is mediated by a backward- propagating mode. Adiabatic and nonadiabatic coupling coeffi- cients are considered and the supermode formalism is used to conveniently describe the mode of operation of the device.

TL;DR: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one, which seems an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.
Abstract: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.
Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …

TL;DR: The semiconductor ZnO has gained substantial interest in the research community in part because of its large exciton binding energy (60meV) which could lead to lasing action based on exciton recombination even above room temperature.
Abstract: The semiconductor ZnO has gained substantial interest in the research community in part because of its large exciton binding energy (60meV) which could lead to lasing action based on exciton recombination even above room temperature. Even though research focusing on ZnO goes back many decades, the renewed interest is fueled by availability of high-quality substrates and reports of p-type conduction and ferromagnetic behavior when doped with transitions metals, both of which remain controversial. It is this renewed interest in ZnO which forms the basis of this review. As mentioned already, ZnO is not new to the semiconductor field, with studies of its lattice parameter dating back to 1935 by Bunn [Proc. Phys. Soc. London 47, 836 (1935)], studies of its vibrational properties with Raman scattering in 1966 by Damen et al. [Phys. Rev. 142, 570 (1966)], detailed optical studies in 1954 by Mollwo [Z. Angew. Phys. 6, 257 (1954)], and its growth by chemical-vapor transport in 1970 by Galli and Coker [Appl. Phys. ...

TL;DR: This month's guest columnist, Steve Bible, N7HPR, is completing a master’s degree in computer science at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, and his research area closely follows his interest in amateur radio.
Abstract: Spread Spectrum It’s not just for breakfast anymore! Don't blame me, the title is the work of this month's guest columnist, Steve Bible, N7HPR (n7hpr@tapr.org). While cruising the net recently, I noticed a sudden bump in the number of times Spread Spectrum (SS) techniques were mentioned in the amateur digital areas. While QEX has discussed SS in the past, we haven't touched on it in this forum. Steve was a frequent cogent contributor, so I asked him to give us some background. Steve enlisted in the Navy in 1977 and became a Data Systems Technician, a repairman of shipboard computer systems. In 1985 he was accepted into the Navy’s Enlisted Commissioning Program and attended the University of Utah where he studied computer science. Upon graduation in 1988 he was commissioned an Ensign and entered Nuclear Power School. His subsequent assignment was onboard the USS Georgia, a trident submarine stationed in Bangor, Washington. Today Steve is a Lieutenant and he is completing a master’s degree in computer science at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. His areas of interest are digital communications, amateur satellites, VHF/UHF contesting, and QRP. His research area closely follows his interest in amateur radio. His thesis topic is Multihop Packet Radio Routing Protocol Using Dynamic Power Control. Steve is also the AMSAT Area Coordinator for the Monterey Bay area. Here's Steve, I'll have some additional comments at the end.
