Acoustic Purcell Effect for Enhanced Emission

Quantum-dot nano-cavity lasers with Purcell-enhanced stimulated emission

Acoustic emission beamforming for enhanced damage detection

As civil infrastructure ages, the early detection of damage in a structure becomes increasingly important for both life safety and economic reasons. This paper describes the analysis procedures used for beamforming acoustic emission techniques as well as the promising results of preliminary experimental tests on a concrete bridge deck. The method of acoustic emission offers a tool for detecting...

Enhanced magnetic Purcell effect in room-temperature masers

Recently, the world's first room-temperature maser was demonstrated. The maser consisted of a sapphire ring housing a crystal of pentacene-doped p-terphenyl, pumped by a pulsed rhodamine-dye laser. Stimulated emission of microwaves was aided by the high quality factor and small magnetic mode volume of the maser cavity yet the peak optical pumping power was 1.4 kW. Here we report dramatic miniat...

Manipulating Smith-Purcell Emission with Babinet Metasurfaces.

Swift electrons moving closely parallel to a periodic grating produce far-field radiation of light, which is known as the Smith-Purcell effect. In this letter, we demonstrate that designer Babinet metasurfaces composed of C-aperture resonators offer a powerful control over the polarization state of the Smith-Purcell emission, which can hardly be achieved via traditional gratings. By coupling th...

Modulation response of nanoLEDs and nanolasers exploiting Purcell enhanced spontaneous emission.

The modulation bandwidth of quantum well nanoLED and nanolaser devices is calculated from the laser rate equations using a detailed model for the Purcell enhanced spontaneous emission. It is found that the Purcell enhancement saturates when the cavity quality-factor is increased, which limits the maximum achievable spontaneous recombination rate. The modulation bandwidth is thereby limited to a...
