Bragg reflector enhanced attenuated total reflectance

Transverse Bragg-reflector injection lasers.

A GaAs-GaAlAs injection laser has been tested that confines light in the lateral dimension (normal to junction plane) by a multilayer Bragg reflector. In the past, light has been confined as a result of the higher-index guiding region and resulting evanescent fields.

Comparison of diffuse-reflectance absorbance and attenuated total reflectance FT-IR for the discrimination of bacteria.

A collection of bacteria belonging to the genus Bacillus were analysed by diffuse reflectance absorbance and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy in the mid-infrared. The diffuse reflectance absorbance method is a rapid whole organism fingerprinting method, which generates a biochemical profile of the bacteria, where samples are presented to the FT-IR spe...

Enhanced random lasing from distributed Bragg reflector assisted Au-ZnO nanowire Schottky diode

Reflectance Mapping of Semiconductor Distributed Bragg Reflectors

We describe the design, construction and performance evaluation of a spectrally resolved reflectance mapping setup. The setup is capable of mapping a full 2 inch diameter semiconductor wafer, with a best spatial resolution of 50μm. The operating wavelength range is from 0.35μm to 1.05μm with spectral resolution of ~1nm. We have used this setup for reflectance mapping studies on distributed Brag...

Ultra-short distributed Bragg reflector fiber laser for sensing applications.

We present an ultra-short distributed Bragg reflector fiber laser written in Er/Yb co-doped fiber. The entire laser is only 8.4 mm in length. The lasing threshold is less than 1 mW. The optical signal-to-noise ratio of the laser output is better than 70 dB. The laser emits two orthogonal polarization modes and generates a beat signal with signal-to-noise ratio of approximately 70 dB and 3-dB li...
