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.

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. ...
