Fabry–Perot (FP) lasers with a cavity length shorten down to 50 μm were investigated. One or two laser mirrors were
formed by focused ion beam etching. InGaAs quantum dots of high density were used as the laser active region. The
lasers operate in a pulsed regime up to at least 105°S. A comparison with lasers formed by the facet cleaving method
(minimum length is 100 μm) reveals the similarity of the emissionwavelength and the threshold current depending on
the cavity length. This allows us to conclude that the etched facets do not significantly affect the non-radiative recombination rate and provide a reflection coefficient close to that of the cleaved facet. The maximum modal gain was estimated to be not less than 240 cm^−1. No evidence of the excited-state lasing was found.

We perform a Monte Carlo analysis of the Ising model on many three-dimensional lattices. By means of finite-size scaling we obtain the critical points and determine the scaling dimensions. As expected, the critical exponents agree with the three-dimensional Ising universality class for all models. The irrelevant field, as revealed by the correction-to-scaling amplitudes, appears to ...

Radiation from rotational transitions of CO molecules in distant galaxies creates a chaotic background with an intensity reaching 1000 Jy/sr at a wavelength of approximately 1 mm. This background will pose a serious problem, when measuring spectral distortions of the cosmic microwave background, in particular, the mu-distortion, which presumably has an intensity of less than ...

This work presents a comprehensive investigation into the temperature-dependent thermally stimulated conductivity and photoconductivity of vacuum-annealed thin films based on core–shell CdSe/CdS nanoplatelets passivated with oleic acid ligands. Controlled thermal annealing under vacuum conditions leads to a substantial increase in both dark and photoinduced conductivity, which is primarily attributed to partial desorption of the ligands. ...
