Additional technological advantages are related to reduced operation currents that need to be provided by the power supply. Such so-called Nanostack/spl reg/ structures are investigated by near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM). This method provides straightforward and separate access to the properties of both optically active segments. Device emission, namely electroluminescence (EL) and lasing, as well as photoluminescence (PL) and photocurrent (PC) data are recorded separately from both device segments with ultra-high spatial resolution.","PeriodicalId":6370,"journal":{"name":"2003 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics Europe (CLEO/Europe 2003) (IEEE Cat.
