Journal ArticleDOI
Single-carrier-type dominated impact ionisation in multilayer structures
TL;DR: In this paper, a new structure for III-V avalanche photodetectors in which multiplication is dominated by a single-carrier type is proposed, where electrons are injected into GaAs multiplication layers from high-electric-field AlGaAs layers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Submilliampere threshold current pseudomorphic InGaAs/AlGaAs buried-heterostructure quantum well lasers grown by molecular beam epitaxy
TL;DR: In this article, low threshold current was obtained for InGaAs/AlGaAs single quantum well lasers grown by molecular beam epitaxy, and the best device showed 0.9 mA threshold current (L=225 µm).
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-threshold two-dimensional annular Bragg lasers
TL;DR: Lasing at telecommunication wavelengths from annular resonators employing radial Bragg reflectors is demonstrated at room temperature under pulsed optical pumping, and the electromagnetic field is shown to be guided by the defect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large optical cavity AlGaAs buried heterostructure window lasers
TL;DR: In this article, a large optical cavity buried heterostructure window laser with only the transparent AlGaAs waveguiding layers, and not the active layer, extend to the laser mirrors has been fabricated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Finite-difference time-domain analysis of spontaneous emission in a microdisk cavity
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a general algorithm to calculate the spontaneous emission rate and spontaneous emission factor in a microcavity of arbitrary geometry, where both the emission spectrum of the light source and the decay of the electromagnetic modes are taken into account in their model.
