Double-wall carbon nanotube Q-switched and mode-locked two-micron fiber lasers

We fabricate double-wall carbon nanotube polymer composite saturable absorbers and demonstrate stable Q-switched and Mode-locked Thulium fiber lasers in a linear cavity and a ring cavity respectively. © 2012 OSA.

Graphene passively Q-switched two-micron fiber lasers

We demonstrate a passively Q-switched thulium fiber laser, using a graphene-based saturable absorber. The laser is based on an all-fiber ring cavity and produces ∼2.3 μs pulses at 1884nm, with a maximum pulse energy of 70 nJ. © 2012 OSA.

Precision transfer printing of ultra-thin AlInGaN micron-size light-emitting diodes

We report the fabrication of a mechanically-flexible 16×16 array of thin-film, micron-size LEDs emitting at 480 nm. Devices were transfer-printed onto a mechanically-flexible ITO backplane using a modified, high-precision (placement accuracy ±25 nm) assembly system. © 2013 IEEE.

Scanning gate microscopy of current-annealed single layer graphene

We have used scanning gate microscopy to explore the local conductivity of a current-annealed graphene flake. A map of the local neutrality point (NP) after annealing at low current density exhibits micron-sized inhomogeneities. Broadening of the local e-h transition is also correlated with the inhomogeneity of the NP. Annealing at higher current density reduces the NP inhomogeneity, but we still observe some asymmetry in the e-h conduction. We attribute this to a hole-doped domain close to one of the metal contacts combined with underlying striations in the local NP. © 2010 American Institute of Physics.
