The simulation results are compared with experimental data from the literature to demonstrate the model accuracy and underline the impact of npp Auger recombination and intervalence band absorption on the high room-temperature characteristic temperature of p-doped lasers. Applying this model to membrane lasers featuring high optical confinement factors in small active regions due to the use of thin III-V stacks as compared to conventional lasers, we demonstrate the potential of such lasers for short-distance optical interconnects as high temperature (110 °C) operation is predicted for an optimized design, with submilliamp threshold up to 60 °C.","PeriodicalId":13200,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics","volume":"60 1","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138822194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, the transient output characteristics of an opposed-contact GaAs PCSS are obtained at 3.0-5.35 kV at low-energy optical excitation. In contrast to the 8 ns optical pulse, the pulse width of the switching waveform is compressed to 2.2 ns, corresponding to a compression ratio of 72%. The electric field threshold of 38 kV/cm is verified for the pulse compression effect (PCE) in our experiment. The maximum output amplitude is 2.27 kV with a 660 ps rise time, and the relevant transmission efficiency is 43.7%. The transient electric field distribution of the GaAs PCSS at the bias voltage corresponding to the PCE is simulated by a two-dimension model. The influence of carrier transport on pulse compression is analyzed numerically during the spatiotemporal variation of the electric field. Results indicate that the PCE is attributed to the negative differential mobility (NDM) effect and the electric field shielding (EFS) effect. The characteristics of an ultrafast, compressed pulse, along with the increased output, provide the specific guidance for high-power applications at high repetition rates.","PeriodicalId":13200,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics","volume":"60 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138678716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both photonic crystal fibers and other micro-structured fibers almost contain a ring-core structure to support the transmission of more OAM modes. However, the middle of the ring-core fiber is usually a large air hole, and such a structure makes it difficult to manufacture the ring-core perfectly. Concave damage may occur in the ring-core. The effects of concave damage on the transmission of OAM modes are analyzed. The concave damage leads to a large effective refractive index difference between the odd and even modes of vector mode, and a method for proper compensation is proposed. The lining is added to the inner side of the ring-core, which is made of the same material as the cladding, and slightly increasing the refractive index of the lining material promotes the performance of the compensation. After numerical simulation, the walk-off distance can be increased by a factor of 2–20 after compensation.","PeriodicalId":13200,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics","volume":"60 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135703710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From the perspective of biological vision, the realization of image processing based on the RF provides the biological rationality for the machine vision implemented by the spiking neural network (SNN). By exploiting the fast physical mechanisms of gain and absorption in the SA laser, the photonic spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) curves are achieved to train the weights. Here, the source image pixels are mapped into the temporal information of spike trains injected into the neural network through the temporal coding method called time-to-first-spike encoding. Different source images are processed and tested by the proposed photonic SNN. Simulation results show that our proposed system can process not only simple binary images but also complex color images under the adjustment of STDP rules. When considering the robustness, we demonstrate the tolerance of the image segmentation to the time jitter. These results indicate that our proposed photonic SNN can achieve high-resolution processing of complex source images. Additionally, the time-multiplexing technique can be further adopted to simplify the RF structure, which is expected to reduce the complexity of the whole system, thus facilitating physical applications. Our work offers the prospect for a high-speed photonic spiking platform for image processing.","PeriodicalId":13200,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics","volume":"60 1","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135057000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
