Title: Gallium nitride nanotube lasers

Abstract

Lasing is demonstrated from gallium nitride nanotubes fabricated using a two-step top-down technique. By optically pumping, we observed characteristics of lasing: a clear threshold, a narrow spectral, and guided emission from the nanotubes. In addition, annular lasing emission from the GaN nanotube is also observed, indicating that cross-sectional shape control can be employed to manipulate the properties of nanolasers. The nanotube lasers could be of interest for optical nanofluidic applications or application benefitting from a hollow beam shape.

Ultra-low threshold gallium nitride photonic crystal nanobeam laser

Journal Article Niu, Nan ; Woolf, Alexander ; Wang, Danqing ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We report exceptionally low thresholds (9.1 μJ/cm{sup 2}) for room temperature lasing at ∼450 nm in optically pumped Gallium Nitride (GaN) nanobeam cavity structures. The nanobeam cavity geometry provides high theoretical Q (>100 000) with small modal volume, leading to a high spontaneous emission factor, β = 0.94. The active layer materials are Indium Gallium Nitride (InGaN) fragmented quantum wells (fQWs), a critical factor in achieving the low thresholds, which are an order-of-magnitude lower than obtainable with continuous QW active layers. We suggest that the extra confinement of photo-generated carriers for fQWs (compared to QWs) is responsible for the excellent performance.

Gallium nitride microcavities formed by photoenhanced wet oxidation

Journal Article Peng, L -H ; Lu, C -Y ; Wu, W -H ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We report the formation of gallium nitride (GaN) microcavities by manipulating a photoenhanced oxidation rate difference between the polar and nonpolar crystallographic planes of GaN. When immersed in a buffered acetic (CH{sub 3}COOH) electrolyte of pH{approx}6.2 at room temperature, it is shown that the photo-oxidation can proceed at a rate that is one order of magnitude slower on the nonpolar plane of {l_brace}1100{r_brace}{sub GaN} than on the polar plane of {l_brace}0001{r_brace}{sub GaN} due to the reduced surface field action. Gallium nitride microcavities bounded by optically smooth {l_brace}1100{r_brace} and {l_brace}1103{r_brace} facets can thus be preferentially formed on the c-plane sapphire substratemore »« less

Room Temperature Lasing from Semiconducting Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Journal Article Chen, Jia-Shiang ; Dasgupta, Anushka ; Morrow, Darien J. ; ... - ACS Nano

Miniaturized near-infrared semiconductor lasers that are able to generate coherent light with low energy consumption have widespread applications in fields such as optical interconnects, neuromorphic computing, and deep-tissue optogenetics. With optical transitions at near-infrared wavelengths, diameter-tunable electronic structures, and superlative optoelectronic properties, semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are promising candidates for nanolaser applications. However, despite significant efforts in this direction and recent progress toward enhancing spontaneous emission from SWCNTs through Purcell effects, SWCNT-based excitonic lasers have not yet been demonstrated. Leveraging an optimized cavity-emitter integration scheme enabled by a self-assembly process, here we couple SWCNT emission to the whispering gallerymore »« less

Mechanical behavior of gallium nitride nanotubes under combined tension-torsion: An atomistic simulation

Journal Article Wang, Zhiguo ; Zu, Xiaotao T ; Gao, Fei ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics, 103(1):013505, (3 pages)

The tensile mechanical behavior of single crystalline gallium nitride (GaN) nanotubes under combined tension-torsion is investigated using molecular dynamics simulations with an empirical potential. The simulation results show that a small torsion rate (<0.010° ps-1) does not affect the tensile behavior of GaN nanotube, i.e. the nanotubes show brittle properties at low temperatures; whereas at high temperatures, they behave as ductile materials. However, the failure stress decreases with increasing rate of torsion above 0.010° ps-1, and the nanotube fails in a different manner. The torsion rate has no effect on the elastic properties of GaN nanotubes.

Few-cycle optical field breakdown and damage of gallium oxide and gallium nitride

Journal Article Tripepi, Michael ; Zhang, Simin ; Harris, Brandon ; ... - APL Materials

Both gallium oxide and gallium nitride have great potential for use as high power transparent conducting oxide materials for a wide range of optoelectronic applications. It is, therefore, important to determine the dynamic optical field breakdown for these materials. Here, we report laser damage thresholds for Ga ₂ O ₃ and GaN using 9 fs few-cycle pulses with a center wavelength near 760 nm. We determine laser-induced damage thresholds (LIDTs) for both single pulse and multi-pulse exposures, with multi-pulse LIDT showing significant reduction compared to single pulse LIDT (in some cases, >50%), possibly due to laser-induced defects. We show that Ga ₂more »« less
