NEW METHOD FOR ACQUIRING A HIGH-RESOLUTION ATMOSPHERIC RAYLEIGH-MIE SPECTRUM

A new method using an atomic-resonance filter and deconvolution techniques has been developed to acquire high-resolution spectra of atmospheric Rayleigh-Mie scattering. In the deconvolution process, the difficulty of the undetermined division 0/0 is overcome by a fitting method. Preliminary laboratory experimental results on 90-deg scattering show that with a signal-to-noise ratio of 20, the scattered Rayleigh-Mie spectrum may be retrieved in agreement with the theoretical analysis.

DIFFERENT INTERDIFFUSION CHARACTERISTICS BETWEEN AG/YBA2CU3O7-X AND AL/YBA2CU3O7-X CONTACT INTERFACES

The differences between the interdiffusion characteristics of Ag/YBa2Cu3O7-x and Al/YBa2Cu3O7-x contact interfaces have been revealed by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). The different electrical properties of Ag/YBa2Cu3O7-x and YBa2Cu3O7-x films after high temperature treatment are well understood by the SIMS results.

An asymmetric broad waveguide structure for a 0.98-μm high-conversion-efficiency diode laser

A novel asymmetric broad waveguide diode laser structure was designed for high power conversion efficiency (PCE). The internal quantum efficiency, the series resistance, and the thermal resistance were theoretically optimized. The series resistance and the thermal resistance were greatly decreased by optimizing the thickness of the P-waveguide and the P-cladding layers. The internal quantum efficiency was increased by introducing a novel strain-compensated GaAs_0.9P_0.1/InGaAs quantum well. Experimentally, a single 1-cm bar with 20% fill factor and 900 μm cavity length was mounted P-side down on a microchannel-cooled heatsink, and a peak PCE of 60% is obtained at 26.3-W continuous wave output power.The results prove that this novel asymmetric waveguide structure design is an efficient approach to improve the PCE.

C离子注入Si中Si_(1-x)C_x合金的形成及其稳定性

利用离子注入和高温退火的方法在Si中生长了C含量为0.6%～1.0%的Si_(1-x)C_x合金，研究了不同注入剂量下Si_(1-x)C_x合金的形成及其在退火过程中的稳定性。如果注入剂量小于引起Si非晶化的剂量，850℃退火后，注入产生的损伤缺陷容易与C原子结合形成缺陷团簇，难于形成Si_(1-x)C_x合金。随着注入C离子剂量的增大，注入产生的损伤增强，容易形成Si_(1-x)C_x合金，但注入的剂量增大到一定程度，Si_(1-x)C_x合金的应变将趋于饱和，即只有部分C原子进入晶格位置形成合金相。Si_(1-x)C_X合金一旦形成，在950℃仍比较稳定，而温度高于1000℃，合金的应力将部分释放。随着合金中C原子浓度的升高，合金的稳定性变差。

Experimental Study on the Subthreshold Swing of Silicon Nanowire Transistors

SOI based wrap-gate silicon nanowire FETs are fabricated through electron beam lithography and wet etching. Dry thermal oxidation is used to further reduce the patterned fins cross section and transfer them into nanowires. Silicon nanowire FETs with different nanowire widths varying from 60 nm to 200 nm are fabricated and the number of the nanowires contained in a channel is also varied. The on-current (I-ON) and off-current (I-OFF) of the fabricated silicon nanowire FET are 0.59 mu A and 0.19 nA respectively. The subthreshold swing (SS) and the drain induced barrier lowering are 580 mV/dec and 149 mVN respectively due to the 30 nm thick gate oxide and 1015 cm(-3) lightly doped silicon nanowire channel. The nanowire width dependence of SS is shown and attributed to the fact that the side-gate parts of a wrap gate play a more effectual role as the nanowires in a channel get narrower. It seems the nanowire number in a channel has no effect on SS because the side-gate parts fill in the space between two adjacent nanowires.

High electrical-to-green efficiency high stability intracavity-frequency-doubled Nd:YAG-LBO QCW 532 nm laser with a straight cavity

An electrical-to-green efficiency of more than 10% was demonstrated by intracavity-frequency-doubling a Q-switched diode-side-pumped Nd:YAG laser with a type II lithium triborate (LBO) crystal in a straight plano-concave cavity. An average power of 69.2 W at 532 nm was generated when electrical input power was 666 W. The corresponding electrical-to-green conversion efficiency is 10.4%. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest electrical-to-green efficiency of second harmonic generation laser systems with side-pumped laser modules, ever reported. At about 66 W of green output power, the power fluctuation over 4 hours was better than +/-0.86%.

LD Side-Pumped Passive Mode-Locked TEM00 Nd:YAG Laser Based on SESAM

We report an LD side-pumped continuous-wave passive mode-locked Nd:YAG laser with a Z-type folded cavity based on a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM). The average output power 2.95 W of mode-locked laser with electro-optical conversion efficiency of 1.3% and high beam quality (M-x(2) = 1.25 and M-y(2) = 1.22) is achieved. The repetition rate of mode-locked pulse of 88 MHz with pulse energy of 34 nJ is obtained.

Sequential coupling transport for the dark current of quantum dots-in-well infrared photodetectors

The dark current characteristics and temperature dependence for quantum dot infrared photodetectors have been investigated by comparing the dark current activation energies between two samples with identical structure of the dots-in-well in nanoscale but different microscale n-i-n environments. A sequential coupling transport mechanism for the dark current between the nanoscale and the microscale processes is proposed. The dark current is determined by the additive mode of two activation energies: E-a,E-micro from the built-in potential in the microscale and E-a,E-nano related to the thermally assisted tunneling in nanoscale. The activation energies E-a,E-micro and E-a,E-nano decrease exponentially and linearly with increasing applied electric field, respectively.
