Abstract

Abstract

Electrically-pumped lasing remains a grand challenge for the organic electronics community. This talk will focus on developments toward this goal using organic-inorganic perovskite semiconductors, including optically-pumped cw lasing and light emitting diode cavity architectures that lase under optical pumping and reach current densities >0.5 kA/cm2.

MB1.3 - THERMALLY CONTROLLABLE HIGH-EFFICIENCY UNIDIRECTIONAL COUPLING IN A DOUBLE-SLIT STRUCTURE FILLED WITH PHASE CHANGE MATERIAL

Abstract

Abstract

We present up to 80% coupling efficiency with extinction ratio of 1:800, tunable unidirectional launcher of surface plasmon polaritons in a double-slit structure filled with phase change materials at telecommunication wavelength for normally incident P-polarized light. Further more we achieved zero crosstalk.

MB2.2 - FOLDED DIELECTRIC METASURFACE PLATFORM FOR COMPACT OPTICAL SYSTEMS

Abstract

Abstract

We present a compact folded metasurface optics platform that offers a low-cost and robust solution for the design and realization of compact optical systems. Specifically, we introduce the design and implementation of a miniature spectrometer and a hyperspectral imager as examples showcasing the platform potentials.

Abstract

Abstract

We demonstrate the excitation of epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) resonance on a side-polished optical fiber nano-coated with aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) with vanishing permittivity at near-infrared wavelength. The ENZ resonance is caused by the coupling between guided modes supported by optical fiber and the AZO nanolayer.

Abstract

Abstract

In this talk, we discuss our recent experiments on the spectral response under applied strain of quantum emitters based on structural defects in hBN. We also report on photoluminescence excitation experiments that allow to identify the vibronic excited states associated to their characteristic energy level structure.

MB3.3 - FIELD ENHANCEMENT OF EPSILON-NEAR-ZERO MODES IN ATOMIC-LAYER-DEPOSITED ZNO:AL NANOLAYERS

Abstract

Abstract

We derive an expression for electric-field intensity enhancement due to the epsilon-near-zero modes in ultra-thin conducting layers. We show that absorptance and field enhancement in aluminum-doped zinc oxide nanolayers grown by atomic layer deposition are controlled by nanolayer thickness and optical losses.

Abstract

Abstract

We have developed random lasers and wave-chaotic microcavity lasers with low spatial coherence to achieve speckle-free full-field imaging. We have also invented a fast and efficient method of switching the spatial coherence of a degenerate cavity laser for bimodal microscopy.

MB4.3 - MULTIPLEXED DETECTION OF SINGLE ANTIBIOTIC DRUG-RESISTANT PLASMIDS USING MULTIMODE INTERFERENCE WAVEGUIDE BASED OPTOFLUIDIC CHIP

Abstract

Abstract

A single multimode interference waveguide is used to create distinct spectral spot patterns on two liquid-core waveguides on an optofluidic chip. This device is used for multiplexed detection of antibiotic-resistant plasmids with single nucleic acid sensitivity.
