Symmetries and optical transitions of hexagonal quantum dots in GaAs/AlGaAs nanowires

Marc-André Dupertuis

We investigate the properties of electronic states and optical transitions in hexagonal GaAs quantum dots within Al0.3Ga0.7As nanowires, grown in axial direction [111]. Such dots are particularly interesting due to their high degree of symmetry. A streamli ...

Electrical detection of spin hyperpolarization in InP

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Christian Caspers

The electrical detection of surface spin polarization in Indium Phosphide (InP) is demonstrated. Using a planar four-terminal architecture on top of semi-insulating Fe: InP (001) wafers, optical orientation is separated from electrical detection. Spin filt ...

Heralded Single-Phonon Preparation, Storage, and Readout in Cavity Optomechanics

Tobias Kippenberg, Christophe Marcel Georges Galland, Nicolas Piro Mastracchio

We show how to use the radiation pressure optomechanical coupling between a mechanical oscillator and an optical cavity field to generate in a heralded way a single quantum of mechanical motion (a Fock state). Starting with the oscillator close to its grou ...

Upconversion Particle as a Local Luminescent Brownian Probe: A Photonic Force Microscopy Study

László Forró, Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Sylvia Jeney, Flavio Maurizio Mor

Near-infrared (NIR) light sensitive lanthanide-doped NaYF4 upconversion particles (UCPs) are gaining increasing attention as local probes in biomedical applications. Here, we implemented a photonic force microscope (PFM) to manipulate and study the optical ...

Interaction between meta-materials and shallow donors in bulk GaN at THz frequency

Nicolas Grandjean, Etienne François Olivier Giraud

We report the coupling and interaction between shallow donors and microcavities in bulk GaN at THz frequencies. At 4K, the shallow donors lead to an absorption at 23.5 meV (5.7 THz) under optical pumping above the bandgap of GaN. The microcavities are base ...

Vertical cavity surface emitting laser cavity with low thermal impedance

Elyahou Kapon, Vladimir Iakovlev, Pascal Gallo

The present invention concerns new designs of VCLs with high contrast gratings (HCG) combined with diamond layer as a bottom mirror. They can be realized either with a classical V-shaped pumping scenario, or through the introduction of the pumping beam fro ...
