III-Nitrides QD lasers are studied in detail. Two types of QD structures are considered, GaN/Al x Ga 1-x N/AlN and In x Ga 1-x N/ In 0.04 Ga 0 . 96 N /GaN. Effects of: QD size; QD and WL composition; and doping are studied through the calculations of gain, threshold current, and intensity modulation bandwidth. It is shown that GaN QDs are less sensitive to size fluctuations. Bandwidth increases with doping and reducing QD size. The study covers approximately (300-600 nm) wavelength range.
An InSb(1-x)Bi(x) quantum dot (QD) photodetector was studied in this work. First, the quantum efficiency (QE) was modeled for this structure where the relations of electron and hole densities and their contribution to current density are derived. The absorption of p-, n- and depletion regions were calculated before specifying their contribution to QE. It is shown that adding Bi to Sb-based QD structures increases their absorption and QE. High Bi content extended the cutoff detection wavelength of these detectors.
This research reports a theoretical investigation on the role of filtered optical feedback (FOF) in the quantum dot light emitting diode (QD-LED). The underlying dynamics is affected by a sidle node, which returns to an elliptical shape when the wetting layer (WL) is neglected. Both filter width and time delay change the appearance of different dynamics (chaotic and mixed mode oscillations, MMOs). The results agree with the experimental observations. Here, the fixed point analysis for QDs was done for the first time. For QD-LED with FOF, the system transits from the coherence collapse case in conventional optical feedback to a coherent case with a filtered mode in FOF. It was found that the WL washes out the modes which is an unexpected result. This may attributed to the longer capture time of WL compared with that between QD states. Thus, WL reduces the chaotic behavior.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
