Heat accumulation is a critical issue in VCSEL operation; therefore, reducing pulse width effectively minimizes heat generation. This not only enhances the thermal characteristics of the devices but also suppresses lateral carrier diffusion—particularly important in longer resonant cavity structures such as multi-junction VCSELs. At room temperature, a 3J 940 nm VCSEL with a <inline-formula> <tex-math>$10mu $ </tex-math></inline-formula> m oxide aperture driven by 2 ns pulses achieved a slope efficiency (SE) of 3.2 W/A using a three-layer oxide structure, compared to 2.37 W/A for a single-layer oxide design. Both devices exhibited a red spectral shift of less than 1 nm, corresponding to a temperature rise below <inline-formula> <tex-math>$12~^{circ }$ </tex-math></inline-formula>C, indicating improved thermal management. Notably, a unique behavior was observed in the three-oxide-layer 3J VCSEL: as the injection current increased, the beam divergence angle decreased from 17° to 5°. These findings highlight the advantages of multi-junction VCSELs with optimized oxide designs, demonstrating their potential for future high-performance sensing applications.","PeriodicalId":13200,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics","volume":"61 5","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144990000","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}

However, lead-free PSCs’ limited Power Conversion Efficiency (PCE) compared to their lead-based counterparts prevents them from being used more widely. This issue can be successfully resolved with the multi-absorber approach since it maximizes the use of the solar spectrum. Therefore, this article incorporates numerical modeling guided optimization of a lead free all inorganic ITO/ETL/CsSnI3/CsSnCl3/HTL dual absorbers-based heterojunction structure to improve the performance of Cesium Tin Iodide (CsSnI3) and Cesium Tin Chloride (CsSnCl3) based single absorber PSCs. The critical device’s parameters, such as absorber layer and carrier transport layer thickness, defect density, temperature, doping concentration, series and shunt resistances are thoroughly optimized and evaluated using Solar cell capacitance simulator (SCAPS-1D).

However, using a SACM architecture to improve the NUV unity-gain QE has unique challenges: including deviating from existing front-side absorber SACM architectures to a very thick backside one. This is further compounded when binary semiconductor materials are used (e.g., 4H-SiC) instead of alloyed heterostructures (e.g., InGaP or HgCdTe), removing what is arguably the most versatile design parameter, the mole fraction of the alloy. To overcome these challenges, we have implemented a numerical model with a calibrated 4H-SiC material library for the development of APDs and leveraged it to design NUV-enhanced SACM structures, where both non-reach-through (NRT) and reach-through (RT) architectures have been considered. For the NRT-SACM case, it was determined that the doping profiles must be engineered such that two competing mechanisms are balanced: maximizing the minority carrier diffusion length in the absorber layer (AL, longest at lower AL doping), while minimizing the corresponding potential barrier at the AL/charge layer (CL) interface (lowest at higher AL doping). Conversely, in a RT-SACM architecture, it was determined that a narrow range of total charge in the CL properly modulated the electric field to be non-zero in the AL and sufficiently large in the multiplication layer (ML) to operate above avalanche breakdown. As such, it was determined that the CL design is exceptionally intolerant to variations in either layer thickness or doping. Leveraging design rules learned and reported in this paper, we have designed both types of SACM architectures: NRT-SACM APDs and RT-SACM APDs, with unity gain QE at 340 nm up to 32% and 71% respectively, while maintaining a large electric field in the ML required for Geiger-mode operation.","PeriodicalId":13200,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics","volume":"61 5","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145090036","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}
