The authors report a new p-n-p surface accumulation layer transistor (SALTran) on SOI, which uses the concept of surface accumulation of holes near the emitter contact to significantly improve the current gain. Using two-dimensional simulation, the performance of the proposed device has been evaluated in detail by comparing its characteristics with those of the previously published conventional...

In this work, we present our achievements in color tunability in novel multilayer organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on DCM (4-(Dicyanomethylene)-2-methyl-6-[p(dimethylamino)styryl]-4H-pyran) as red emitter doped in a composite PVK:TPD holetransporting layer, DPVBi (4,4′-Bis(2,2-diphenylvinyl)-1,1′-biphenyl) as a separate blue emitting layer, BAlq (aluminum bis(2-methyl-8-quinolinate)-...

In extension to known concepts of wavelength-multiplexing diode laser arrays, a new external cavity is presented. The setup simultaneously improves the beam quality of each single emitter of a standard 25 emitter broad-area stripe laser bar and spectrally superimposes the 25 beams into one. By using this external resonator in an "off-axis" arrangement, beam qualities of Mslow2<14 and Mfast2<3 w...

In this Letter we demonstrate, for the first time, selective thermal emitters based on metamaterial perfect absorbers. We experimentally realize a narrow band midinfrared (MIR) thermal emitter. Multiple metamaterial sublattices further permit construction of a dual-band MIR emitter. By performing both emissivity and absorptivity measurements, we find that emissivity and absorptivity agree very ...

The purpose of this work is to establish how a moving emitter can be localized by a passive receiver using inhomogeneous bistatic scattering. This is a novel localization technique that assumes no a priori knowledge of the location of the reflecting sources. The emitter parameters of range, heading, velocity, and altitude are estimated and the variances of the estimates are determined. The prop...

A compact, high-power emitter of half-cycle terahertz (THz) radiation is demonstrated. The device consists of an epitaxial InAs emitter upon a GaAs prism and produces THz pulses that are 20 times more powerful than those from conventional planar InAs emitters. This improvement is a direct result of reorienting the transient THz dipole such that its axis is not perpendicular to the emitting surf...

We formulated an analytical model and analyzed the modification of spontaneous emission in Bragg onion resonators. We consider both the case of a single light emitter and a uniformly distributed ensemble of light emitters within the resonator. We obtain an expression for the average radiation rate of the light emitters ensemble and discuss the modification of the average radiation rate as a fun...

Fluorescence is widely used in optical devices, microscopy imaging, biology, medical research and diagnosis. Improving fluorescence sensitivity, all the way to the limit of single-molecular detection needed in many applications, remains a great challenge. The technique of surface enhanced fluorescence (SEF) is based upon the design of surfaces in the vicinity of the emitter. SEF yields an overa...

Organic luminogens with strong solid-state emission have attracted much attention for their widely practical applications. However, the traditional organic luminogens with planar conformations often suffer from the notorious aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect in solid state for the π-π stacking. Here, a highly efficient blue emitter TPE-4Py with an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effe...

Electron emission experiments on Applied Technology Satellite 5 using a thermal electron emitter are reported and analyzed. Operations in eclipse charging environments showed that electron emission could partially discharge a negatively charged satellite. Typical operations resulted in kilovolt potentials being reduced to hundreds of volts for a few tens of seconds, followed by a gradual rechar...
