Despite extensive studies, experimental results that clearly distinguish the two plasmonic enhancement effects are rarely available. Here, we present clear spectral signatures of the plasmonic enhancement effects on the absorption (excitation) and spontaneous emission (Purcell factor) by analyzing the temperature dependent photoluminescence (PL) properties of InGaAs/GaAs single quantum well (QW) coupled to colloidal gold nanorods (AuNRs) at different GaAs capping layer thickness (d). We find that when the emitting InGaAs layer is close to the AuNRs (d = 5 nm), the plasmonic enhancement effect on the QW PL is dominated by the Purcell factor that significantly increases the external quantum efficiency of the QW that otherwise barely emits. When d is increased to 10 nm, the temperature dependence of the PL enhancement factor (F) reflects absorption enhancement in the capping layer followed by carrier diffusion and capture by the well. First F increases with temperature and then decreases following the temperature dependence of the carrier diffusion coefficient in GaAs. By factoring out the contribution of the captured carriers to F, it is shown that carrier transfer to the well reaches saturation with increasing incident laser power. In addition to providing insight into the plasmonic enhancement mechanism, the results presented in this work suggest that colloidal plasmonic nanoparticles can be used as simple probes for understanding carrier transport phenomena in arbitrary semiconductor heterostructures.","PeriodicalId":363843,"journal":{"name":"Active Photonic Platforms XI","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125078868","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 effective Hamiltonian for this system is non-hermitian, and, under some assumptions and conditions, reminiscent of two-site parity-time (PT) symmetric Hamiltonians, a topic that is under intense investigation. The dynamical response of the intensity of the lasers as a function of the detuning between them reveals characteristics of a PT symmetric system, and our emphasis is on the features that arise from the delayed coupling. Experimental measurements are in good agreement with numerical simulation of the nonlinear rate equation model that describes the coupled system. models and exceptional (EP) and few recent experiments fabricated synthetic mircocavity lasers on an integrated The laser novel when phase We now report a laboratory realization of a time-delayed, non-hermitian, system in a bulk optical configuration that is comprised of two optically coupled semiconductor lasers (SCLs), and an experimental and theoretical investigation of the properties of this system with special attention to the novel features that arise from the time delayed coupling between oscillators. We show that the rate equation model that is typically used to describe these coupled lasers, can, under certain conditions, lead to an effective non-hermitian Hamiltonian that is strongly reminiscent of the Hamiltonians that arise in the study of conventional PT-symmetric systems. Our experiments demonstrate not only that the coupled SCL system possesses many of the features that PT-symmetric systems do, but also reveals key signatures associated with the time-delayed coupling. Time-delayed differential equations are generally not amenable to analytic solutions and hence we resort to numerical methods to solve the relevant equations that model our system. The predictions of the numerical modeling are compared to the experiments, and the results of are in very good agreement. It is anticipated that the outcomes of our work will be important for systems described by non-Hermitian rate equations, local and nonlocal, and their laboratory implementations.","PeriodicalId":363843,"journal":{"name":"Active Photonic Platforms XI","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115531101","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}
