研究目的
To demonstrate an electrically controlled wavelength-tunable laser based on CdS nanoribbon (NR) structure for applications in chip-based nano-photonic and opto-electronic circuitry.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrated an electrically controlled wavelength-tunable CdS NR laser with a reversible tuning range of ~10 nm and a modulation ratio of 21 dB. The findings represent a significant advancement towards the development of color-selective coherent nano-emitters for future chip-based opto-electronic applications.
研究不足
The study is limited by the spectral tuning range of the NR laser and the modulation ratio achievable with the current device configuration. Further optimization of the NR structure and device architecture could potentially extend the tuning range and improve the modulation performance.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed a CdS nanoribbon (NR) structure grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. The NR was transferred onto a glass substrate with indium-tin-oxide (ITO) strip electrodes for electrical biasing. Optical and electrical measurements were conducted to assess the NR's spectral response to external electric fields.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
A single CdS NR segment was selected for the study, with its dimensions and surface roughness characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM).
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A confocal μ-PL system (WITec, alpha-300), a continuous-wave (CW) diode laser (Coherent) emitting at 488 nm, and a 470 nm pulsed laser from TOPAS Prime (Spectra-Physics) optical parametric amplifier (OPA) were used for optical measurements. A Keithley 2400 source meter was used for electrical measurements.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The NR was optically pumped, and its PL emission was detected. Bias-dependent absorption and time-resolved PL measurements were performed to study the NR's response to electric fields.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The PL spectra were analyzed to determine the lasing wavelength and threshold. The bias-dependent absorption spectra were used to study the band gap variation with electric field.
