St. Petersburg Polytechnical University Journal: Physics and Mathematics. 2022. Vol. 15. No. 3.3. P. 371–375.
In this work, we study III-V p-i-n photodetectors and disk microlasers in terms of their static and small-signal modulation frequency response. InGaAs/GaAs quantum welldots (QWDs) are used as the active region of the devices to provide operation wavelength around 1.1 µm, high optical and frequency response and temperature stability of characteristics. 30 µ m-in-diameter microdisk lasers revealed CW output power level of 15–22 mW and error-free 10 Gbit/s data transmission at 30 ºC without temperature stabilization. The microdisk laser and the p-i-n photodiode were heterogeneously integrated on a silicon substrate by Au-Au thermocompression bonding to form a compact transceiver. Detection of microlaser emission by the closely placed p-i-n photodiode is studied. The absolute value of the responsivity of the waveguide detector as high as 0.68 A/W for the unbiased device is demonstrated. The efficiency of the optical link at the level of 1.4% is achieved. Approaches to obtain higher efficiency of the optical link are discussed.

Numerous studies have provided compelling evidence that the probability distribution of avalanche sizes follows a power law, and that 1/f noise is present in the stochastic dynamics of landslides. We present a theoretical explanation of these phenomena within the framework of self-organized criticality theory, proposing a discrete-time model in the form of a sandpile cellular ...

A discrete-time model is presented for the self-organization of the X/Twitter social network to the edge of a phase transition, characterized by avalanche-like propagation of information in the network. The model is based on the analogy between the critical dynamics of the X social network and sandpile cellular automata with Manna rule on the Chung-Lu ...

Superconducting properties of metallic micro- and nanowires can be entirely different from those of bulk superconductors. Of particular interest is the nonequilibrium current-induced state of a quasi-one-dimensional superconducting channel. The most interesting phenomenon here is the stepped I–V characteristic, explained by a process known as phase slip center activation. If the origin of such step-like ...

Machine learning (ML) has become a powerful tool for accelerating the development of carbon-based supercapacitors;
however, most published models assume that a single predictive framework can describe both conventional
porous carbons and hybrid carbon electrodes. Here, we test this assumption using a comprehensive
benchmark dataset and an extended literature-curated dataset enriched with synthesis- and electrolyte-related
descriptors. Three ML algorithms ...

This paper compares the ranging precision of direct time-of-flight (dToF) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) LiDAR architectures, both using a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD). Both systems operate at 1550 nm with a 50 ps pulsed laser and time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC). The dToF configuration achieved approximately 100 µm precision at 10 m, while the NLOS configuration achieved 500 µm precision for ...

We demonstrate that microlasers with an anisotropic cavity (limaçon- or quadrupole-shaped) containing quantum well-dots in the active region are able to operate under continuous wave current injection at 90 °C. Deviation of the cavity shape from circular leads to the directionality of the emission in the lateral direction, while the quality factor of the structures and ...
