Molecular engineering of functional materials for optoelectronic applications

Nikita Drigo

Organic functional materials are indispensable components for the last generation of light-energy conversion devices. Photo- and electroactive small organic molecules constitute thin active (emitting, transporting, blocking, injecting etc.) layers of organ ...

Towards new applications using capillary waveguides

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Salma Farahi, Nicolino Stasio, Emmanuel André Henri Bossy

In this paper we demonstrate the enhancement of the sensing capabilities of glass capillaries. We exploit their properties as optical and acoustic waveguides to transform them potentially into high resolution minimally invasive endoscopic devices. We show ...

Analysis of structurally sensitive loss in GaN-based VCSEL cavities and its effect on modal discrimination

Gatien Cosendey, Nicolas Grandjean, Ehsan Hashemi

Lateral loss causes optical energy to leave the laser cavity in the transverse, lateral, direction, and is sometimes neglected to simplify the numerical simulations. However, in contrast to outcoupling and absorption losses, we show that the lateral loss c ...

Single Mode Mid-infrared Waveguide for Evanescent Sensor Scheme in Liquids

Hans Peter Herzig, Yu-Chi Chang, Vincent Paeder, Philip Wägli, Lubos Hvozdara

A Si/Ge based, single mode, mid-infrared optical waveguide, is used as an evanescent sensor in liquid matrix. The selectivity is achieved by the use of quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) tuned to the maximum absorption of a given analyte. The cocaine detection ...

Optofluidic distributed feedback dye laser via evanescent gain

Demetri Psaltis, Andreas Vasdekis, Wuzhou Song

We demonstrate optofluidic evanescent dye lasers based on two types of solid distributed feedback (DFB) grating cavities- the first order linear DFB gratings which gives in-plane laser emitting and second order circular DFB gratings which gives surface las ...

Optofluidic evanescent dye laser based on a distributed feedback circular grating

Demetri Psaltis, Andreas Vasdekis, Wuzhou Song

We demonstrate an optofluidic evanescent laser based on a solid circular distributed feedback grating with the dye solution acting as the cladding layer. The laser mode is confined within the grating and experiences optical gain via the interaction between ...

Three-dimensional electronic devices fabricated on a top-down silicon nanowire platform

Kirsten Emilie Moselund

For the past couple of decades the desire to add more complexity to a computer chip, while simultaneously reducing the cost per bit, has been accommodated by down-scaling. This approach has been extremely successful in the past, but like all good things it ...

Liquid-phase epitaxy of doped KY(WO4)2 layers for waveguide lasers

Yaroslav Romanyuk

Rare-earth-ion doped KY(WO4)2 (hereafter KYW:RE) is a promising material for novel solid-state lasers. Its low laser threshold, high laser efficiency, and third-order nonlinear effects have stimulated research towards miniaturized thin-film waveguide laser ...

Doping-induced charge trapping in organic light-emitting devices

Frank Nüesch, Libero Zuppiroli, Eduard Tutis, Detlef Berner, Xiao Wang

By using pyran-containing donor-acceptor dyes as doping molecules in organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs), we scrutinize the effects of charge trapping and polarization induced by the guest molecules in the electro-active host material. Laser dyes 4-(dic ...
