We present an investigation of optical coupling of injection microdisk and microring lasers with different diameters with a tapered fiber. We studied the dependences of the laser dominant mode intensity on the distance between the tapered fiber and the microlaser’s sidewall. For every studied laser a sharp intensity growth by 2–3 orders of magnitude was observed when the tapered fiber came in contact with the microlaser. We compared lasing spectra received by the tapered fiber and by the microobjective. Though the intensity of the electroluminescence signal received by the tapered fiber was lower than that coupled by the microobjective, the ratio of the dominant (lasing) mode intensity to spontaneous emission was noticeably higher for the case of the tapered fiber.

We develop a three-mode statistical-mechanical theory for a two-conformer
solute in a near-critical solvent. A compressible lattice model with
vacancies yields the Gaussian free-energy functional for a critical conserved
density, an orthogonal noncritical conserved mode, and the local conformer
fraction. Their couplings follow from packing and cohesive interactions,
rather than being introduced phenomenologically. Kawasaki transport of the
two conserved fields and ...

The planar microcavity structure was grown using molecular-beam epitaxy.
Single-mode lasing was observed at a wavelength of 960 nm for pillars with a diameter of
15 μm. At 300 K, the lasing threshold was approximately 30 mW. Increasing the pump
power to 2.7 times the threshold power resulted in a mode energy shift of approximately
1 meV. This shift ...

Colloidal semiconductor nanorods (NRs) are promising room-temperature single-photon sources because of their
solution processability, tunable optical properties, and intrinsically linearly polarized emission. However, simultaneously achieving high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), strong polarization, and high-purity single-photon emission remains challenging in conventional binary-shell NRs due to the competing requirements of
exciton confinement and core/shell lattice−strain management. Here, we report CdSe/CdZnS gradient alloy core/shell NRs with tunable ...

We examine plasma excitations with linear dispersion in a system of superconducting electrons in thin
NbN disks. Using frequency-domain terahertz spectroscopy, we study the evolution of plasmons up to critical

We demonstrate a thermo-optically tunable microlaser based on an InGaAs/GaAs quantum-dot (QD) active region employing a deformed limaçon-shaped cavity. The asymmetric geometry effectively lifts the degeneracy of high-Q whispering-gallery modes, enabling single-mode lasing. A side-mode suppression ratio exceeds 25 dB over a wide current range. Under continuous-wave electrical pumping, the device achieves a peak output power ...

Exact theories of electrolyte structure must satisfy the nonlocal constraints imposed by electrostatic screening, yet these constraints are most commonly formulated only for homogeneous bulk systems and at the level of two-point correlations. Here, we develop a unified field-theoretic framework that extends them to general inhomogeneous ionic fluids and nonlinear charge correlations. Using a standard ...
