PL measurement was conducted at various temperatures from 15K to 200K in order to investigate the important temperature-dependent parameters of this structure. Important parameters such as activation energies responsible for the photoluminescence quenching and broadening mechanisms are achieved. Because of small thermal activation energy of 15.1 meV in the narrow well, carriers can escape from the well to the barrier states. The dependence of PL width on temperature revealed that Inhomogeneous mechanism is the dominant mechanism for the broadening of PL peak and homogeneous mechanism is responsible at high temperature due to electron-phonon interaction.","PeriodicalId":426962,"journal":{"name":"International Workshop and Conference on Photonics and Nanotechnology","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121483802","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 power coupling and transmitting from one fiber to another is mainly determined by both coupling length and coupling coefficient. Coupling length can be calculated directly but for coupling coefficient it depends upon the refractive index and separation fiber axis. After fusion processes of two SMF-28e(R) couplers, the refractive index is unknown due to change in the radius of fiber (rcladd<40μm and rcore<1.5μm). Coupling coefficient range is obtained from a distribution of coupling ratio and compared with the empirical formula which also enables to calculate refractive index. In this experiment, coupling coefficient in the range of 0.6-0.9/mm is calculated as a function of separation fiber axis and refractive index of core and cladding. The result shows a good correlation between experimental results and theoretical calculation.","PeriodicalId":426962,"journal":{"name":"International Workshop and Conference on Photonics and Nanotechnology","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134089632","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}
