This enhancement can be attributed to an increase in the spontaneous emission rate via resonance coupling between excitons in AlN/GaN superlattices and surface plasmons in the aluminum layer.","PeriodicalId":175863,"journal":{"name":"2014 Conference on Optoelectronic and Microelectronic Materials & Devices","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123414340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The IMT is reversible, involves dramatic changes in the optical and electrical properties, and can be triggered both optically and electrically. Furthermore, the IMT is extremely fast when excited by ultra-short optical pulses. Using this method, one transition cycle can be accomplished within a picosecond. Combining VO2 with optically active erbium ions (Er3+) grants an optical-amplification capability to the material. This feature is appealing for research, especially since the luminescence of Er3+ lies at the standard wavelength for fiberoptic communication system. This paper presents a study on the optical spectroscopy of monocrystalline VO2:Er and an empirical determination of the Er3+ transition energies in VO2.","PeriodicalId":175863,"journal":{"name":"2014 Conference on Optoelectronic and Microelectronic Materials & Devices","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124883653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
