Photonic crystal lasers operating at room temperature based on high Q/V nanobeam cavities have been demonstrated. We reported a large spontaneous emission factor (~0.97) by fitting the L-L curve with the rate equations.
Utilizing three-terminal tunnel emission of ballistic electrons and holes, we have developed a method to self-consistently measure the bandgap of semiconductors and band discontinuities at semiconductor heterojunctions without any prerequisite material parameter. Measurements are performed on lattice-matched GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs and GaAs/(AlxGa1-x)0.51In0.49P single-barrier heterostructures. The bandgaps of AlGaAs and AlGaInP are measured with a resolution of several meV at 4.2 K. For the GaAs/AlGaAs interface, the measured Gamma band offset ratio is 60.4:39.6 (+/-2%). For the GaAs/AlGaInP interface, this ratio varies with the Al mole fraction and is distributed more in the valence band. A non-monotonic Al composition dependence of the conduction band offset at the GaAs/AlGaInP interface is observed in the indirect-gap regime.
In this paper, using the database of the university of Michigan Radio Astronomy Observatory (UMRAO) at three (4.8 GHz, 8 GHZ, and 14.5 GHz) radio frequencies, we studied the polarization properties for 47 BL Lacertae objects(38 radio selected BL Lacertae objects, 7 X-ray selected BL Lacertae, and two inter-middle objects (Mkn 421 and Mkn 501), and found that (1) The polarizations at higher radio frequency is higher than those at lower frequency, (2) The variability of polarization at higher radio frequency is higher than those at lower frequency, (3) The polarization is correlated with the radio spectral index, and (4) The polarization is correlated with core-dominance parameter for those objects with known core-dominance parameters suggesting that the relativistic beaming could explain the polarization characteristic of BL Lacs.
