Adiabatic mode coupling between SiGe photonic devices and SOI waveguidesL Lever
Institute of Microwaves and Photonics, School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, UK
Opt Express 20:29500-6. 2012..We identify optimised taper profiles, which, for 1-μm-wide waveguides, allow the length of an adiabatic taper to be reduced from 250 μm for a simple linear profile to 40 μm for the optimised structure...
Terahertz ambipolar dual-wavelength quantum cascade laserL Lever
Institute of Microwaves and Photonics, School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, United Kingdom
Opt Express 17:19926-32. 2009..3 THz; in reverse bias, it emits at 4 THz. The corresponding threshold current densities are 490 A/cm(2) and 330 A/cm(2), respectively, with maximum operating temperatures of 98K and 120 K...
Modulation of the absorption coefficient at 1.3 μm in Ge/SiGe multiple quantum well heterostructures on siliconL Lever
Institute of Microwaves and Photonics, School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, United Kingdom
Opt Lett 36:4158-60. 2011..We grew 9 nm-thick Ge quantum wells on a relaxed Si0.22Ge0.78 buffer and a contrast in the absorption coefficient of a factor of greater than 3.2 was achieved in the spectral range 1290-1315 nm...
