Double integrated laser-thyristor
摘要： Comparative experiments are performed on a semiconductor laser with different numbers (one or two) of emitting sections monolithically integrated with an electronic switch (thyristor). It is shown that the functional integration of a laser with a thyristor in one heterostructure makes it possible to achieve efficient operation of the laser in a pulsed regime (up to 50 W), while the use of vertical integration of two laser sections in this device additionally increases the optical output power to 90 W with all other conditions being the same.

Monolithic axial and radial metal-semiconductor nanowire heterostructures
摘要： The electrical and optical properties of low dimensional nanostructures depend critically on size and geometry and may differ distinctly from those of their bulk counterparts. In particular, ultra-thin semiconducting layers as well as nanowires have already proven the feasibility to realize and study quantum size effects enabling novel ultra-scaled devices. Further, plasmonic metal nanostructures attracted recently a lot of attention because of appealing near-field mediated enhancement effects. Thus, combining metal and semiconducting constituents in quasi 1D heterostructures will pave the way for ultra-scaled systems and high-performance devices with exceptional electrical, optical and plasmonic functionality. This paper reports on the sophisticated fabrication and structural properties of axial and radial, Al-Ge and Al-Si nanowire heterostructures, synthesized by a thermally induced exchange reaction of single-crystalline Ge-Si core-shell nanowires and Al pads. This enables a self-aligned metallic contact formation to Ge segments beyond lithographic limitations as well as ultra-thin semiconducting layers wrapped around monocrystalline Al core nanowires. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and μ-Raman measurements proved the composition and perfect crystallinity of these metal-semiconductor nanowire heterostructures. This exemplary selective replacement of Ge by Al represents a general approach for the elaboration of radial and axial metal-semiconductor heterostructures in various Ge-semiconductor heterostructures.

Photon Noise Suppression by a Built-in Feedback Loop
摘要： Visionary quantum photonic networks need transform-limited single photons on demand. Resonance fluorescence on a quantum dot provides the access to a solid-state single photon source, where the environment is unfortunately the source of spin and charge noise that leads to fluctuations of the emission frequency and destroys the needed indistinguishability. We demonstrate a built-in stabilization approach for the photon stream, which relies solely on charge carrier dynamics of a two-dimensional hole gas inside a micropillar structure. The hole gas is fed by hole tunneling from field-ionized excitons and influences the energetic position of the excitonic transition by changing the local electric field at the position of the quantum dot. The standard deviation of the photon noise is suppressed by nearly 50% (noise power reduction of 6 dB) and it works in the developed micropillar structure for frequencies up to 1 kHz. This built-in feedback loop represents an easy way for photon noise suppression in large arrays of single photon emitters and promises to reach higher bandwidth by device optimization.
