We present a novel method to characterize the internal quantum efficiency and internal optical loss of semiconductor lasers. Its basic concept is studying the dependence of the external quantum efficiency on the mirror reflectivity. This method is very different from the conventional one, which focuses on the external quantum efficiency as a function of cavity length. Our method has great advantages, such as the capability of measuring the internal quantum efficiency and optical loss of a single laser diode, which is intrinsically impossible by the conventional method.Index Terms-Internal quantum efficiency, internal optical loss, semiconductor lasers.
Experimental and theoretical investigation on the high frequency dielectric properties of Ag/Al2O3 composites Appl. Phys. Lett. 99, 032903 (2011); 10.1063/1.3608156Structural and optical properties of Zn 0.9 Mn 0.1 O / ZnO core-shell nanowires designed by pulsed laser deposition nanoarray composite structure was obtained by alternating-current electrodeposition Cu into the pores of anodic alumina. The ordered wire-grid structure of Cu nanowires formed along a preferential direction, typically 20 nm in diameter, possesses a face-centered-cubic crystalline structure. Optical properties of Cu/ Al 2 O 3 were investigated in detail. An apparent resonance absorption peak near 560 nm was observed, and with the increasing amount of electrodeposition Cu, the blueshift of the peak and the redshift of the absorption band edge were observed. Experimental results also indicate that Cu nanowires have good transmittance characteristic in near-IR wave band and do not exhibit obvious absorption action in mid-IR wave band; in the range of 800-2000 nm, Cu/ Al 2 O 3 present a good polarization property, and with the increase of electrodeposition time, the polarization increases.
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.
