Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Al mole fraction on carrier diffusion lengths and lifetimes in AlxGa1−xAs
Hal A. Zarem,John A. Lebens,K. B. Nordstrom,P. C. Sercel,Steve Sanders,L. E. Eng,Amnon Yariv,Kerry J. Vahala +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the ambipolar diffusion length and carrier lifetime are measured in AlxGa1−xAs for several mole fractions in the interval 0
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of internal photoemission from quantum-well and heterojunction superlattices to infrared photodetectors
TL;DR: In this paper, the free carrier and intervalence band absorption in quantum-well structures has been investigated and potential application of the enhanced absorptions to near-infrared photodetectors is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Passive mode locking of a two‐section multiple quantum well laser at harmonics of the cavity round‐trip frequency
TL;DR: In this paper, a multiple quantum well GaAs/AlGaAs laser with two electrically isolated contacts is passively mode locked in an external cavity at the first through sixth harmonics of the pulse roundtrip frequency of 1.17 GHz to produce pulses shorter than 10 ps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancement of self-focusing threshold in sapphire with elliptical beams
TL;DR: The power threshold for optically induced bulk damage in sapphire is a sensitive function of the ellipticity of the incident beam shape as mentioned in this paper, which is consistent with a simple self-focusing theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longitudinal partial coherence of optical radiation
Joseph Rosen,Amnon Yariv +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the spatial coherence between two points, lying on the propagation axis and which are illuminated by a finite extended, quasi-monochromatic, spatially incoherent light source, is studied.
