Limits on light emission from silicon
Peter Würfel
Although silicon is an indirect semiconductor, light emission from silicon is governed by the same generalized Planck's radiation law as the emission from direct semiconductors. The emission intensity is given by the absorptance of the volume in which there is a difference of the quasi Fermi energies. A difference Although silicon is an indirect semiconductor, light emission from silicon is governed by the same generalized Planck's radiation law as the emission from direct semiconductors. The emission intensity is given by the absorptance of the volume in which there is a difference of the quasi Fermi energies. A difference of the Fermi energies may result from the absorption of external light (photoluminescence) or from the injection of electrons and holes via selective contacts (electroluminescence). The quantum efficiency may be larger than 0.5 for carrier densities below 10^{15} cm-3. At larger densities, non-radiative recombination, in particular Auger recombination dominates. At all carrier densities, the relation between emission intensity and difference of the quasi Fermi energies is maintained. Since this difference is equal to the voltage of a properly designed solar cell, luminescence is the key indicator of material quality for solar cells..

Efficient above-band-gap light emission in germanium
Jifeng Liu, Xiaochen Sun, Yu Bai, Kenneth E., Eugene A., Lionel C., and Jurgen Michel
We report an above-band-gap radiative transition in the photoluminescence spectra of single crystalline Ge in the temperature range of 20~296 K. The temperature-independence of the peak position at ~0.74 eV is remarkably different from the behavior of direct and indirect gap transitions in Ge.

The temperature-independence of the peak position at ~0.74 eV is remarkably different from the behavior of direct and indirect gap transitions in Ge. This transition is observed in n-type, p-type, and intrinsic single crystal Ge alike, and its intensity decreases with the increase of temperature with a small activation energy of 56 meV. Some aspects of the transition are analogous to III-V semiconductors with dilute nitrogen doping, which suggests that the origin could be related to an isoelectronic defect..

Ting Chen, Guangzhao Ran, Liping You, Huabo Zhao, and Guogang Qin
Electroluminescence peaking at 1.3 \mum is observed from high concentration boron-diffused silicon p+-n junctions. This emission is efficient at low temperature with a quantum efficiency 40 times higher than that of the band-to-band emission around 1.1 \mum, but disappears at room temperature.

This emission is efficient at low temperature with a quantum efficiency 40 times higher than that of the band-to-band emission around 1.1 \mum, but disappears at room temperature. The 1.3-\mum band possibly originates from the dislocation networks lying near the junction region, which are introduced by high concentration boron diffusion..

Luminescent-wavelength tailoring silicon-rich silicon nitride LED
Cheng-Tao Lin, Cheewee Liu, and Gong-Ru Lin
Wavelength tunable photoluminescence (PL) of Si-rich silicon nitride (SRSN) film with buried Si nanocrystals (Si-ncs) grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) under SiH4 and NH3 environment is investigated.

Intense broadband visible emissions tunable from blue to red can be obtained from the as-deposited SiNx thin films with increasing NH3 flow rate from 150 to 250 sccm and detuning the SiH4/NH3 flow ratio during deposition. To date, the normalized PL wavelength of SiNx films after annealing could be detuned over the range of 385~675 nm by decreasing the NH3 flow rate, corresponding to an enlargement on Si-nc size from 1.5~2 to 4~5 nm. The PL linewidth is decreased with increasing ammonia flow rate due to the improved uniformity of Si-ncs under high NH3 flow rate condition. In addition, the PL intensity is monotonically increasing with the blue shift of PL wavelength due to the increasing density of small-size Si-ncs. The ITO/SiNx/p-Si/Al diode reveals highly resistive property with the turn-on voltage and power-voltage slope of only 20 V and 0.18 nW/V, respectively. The turn-on voltage can further reduce from 20 to 3.8 V by improving the carrier injection efficiency with p-type Si nano-rods..

Reverse current reduction of Ge photodiodes on Si without post-growth annealing
Sungbong Park, Shinya Takita, Yasuhiko Ishikawa, Jiro Osaka, and Kazumi Wada
A new approach to reduce the reverse current of Ge pin photodiodes on Si is presented, in which an i-Si layer is inserted between Ge and top Si layers to reduce the electric field in the Ge layer. Without post-growth annealing, the reverse current density is reduced to ~10 mA/cm2 at -1 V, i.e., over one order of magnitA new approach to reduce the reverse current of Ge pin photodiodes on Si is presented, in which an i-Si layer is inserted between Ge and top Si layers to reduce the electric field in the Ge layer. Without post-growth annealing, the reverse current density is reduced to ~10 mA/cm2 at -1 V, i.e., over one order of magnitude lower than that of the reference photodiode without i-Si layer. However, the responsivity of the photodiodes is not severely compromised. This lowered-reverse-current is explained by band-pinning at the i-Si/i-Ge interface. Barrier lowering mechanism induced by E-field is also discussed. The presented “non-thermal” approach to reduce reverse current should accelerate electronics-photonics convergence by using Ge on the Si complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) platform..

B. Timotijevic, G. Mashanovich, A. Michaeli, O. Cohen, V. M., J. Crnjanski, and G. T.

Particular advantage of these filters is that they are capable of producing relatively large free spectral range (FSR) as well as narrow 3-dB bandwidth of the filter resonances. Herein we report experimental results and discuss the possibility of designing mono-mode and (nearly) polarization independent SOI ring and racetrack resonators with the FSR in excess of 30 nm..

Band structure of the photonic crystals shows that there exists a partial bandgap. The photonic crystals with partial bandgap are then used as the cladding of a waveguide taper to reduce the radiation loss efficiently. In comparison with the conventional dielectric taper and the complete bandgap photonic crystal taper, the partial bandgap photonic crystal taper has a high transmittance of above 85% with a wide band of 170 nm..

We investigate the influence of multiple filamentation (MF) on the micromachining in Ag+-doped silicate glass irradiated by a 1-kHz femtosecond laser. The thresholds of MF and color change (CC) are measured for both linearly and circularly polarized laser beams. The results demonstrate that the thresholds of MF and CC We investigate the influence of multiple filamentation (MF) on the micromachining in Ag+-doped silicate glass irradiated by a 1-kHz femtosecond laser. The thresholds of MF and color change (CC) are measured for both linearly and circularly polarized laser beams. The results demonstrate that the thresholds of MF and CC are very close. The thresholds of CC and MF for circular polarization increase by ~1.4 times compared with linear polarization. Circular polarization can suppress the number of filaments to some extent compared with linear polarization. However, it is difficult to obtain CC without any filamentation if circular polarization technique is used alone..

The magnetoexciton states are obtained within the effective-mass approximation by using a variational procedure. The trial exciton-envelope wavefunctions are described as hydrogeniclike polynomial functions. The internal transition energies are investigated by studying the allowed magnetoexcitonic transitions using terahertz radiation circularly polarized in the plane of the quantum well. The intraexcitonic magnetoabsorption coefficients are obtained for transitions from 1s-like to 2p^{+-}-like magnetoexciton states as functions of the applied magnetic field..

In this algorithm, the optical line terminal (OLT) polls for optical network unit (ONU) requests to transmit data in a cyclic manner. Services are categorized into three classes: expedited forward (EF) priority, assured forwarding (AF) priority, and best effort (BE) priority. The OLT assigns bandwidth for different priorities with different strategies. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm saves a lot of downstream bandwidth under low load and does not show the light-load penalty compared with the simultaneous and interleaved polling schemes..

Ultraviolet (UV) optical absorption, photoluminescence (PL) spectra under 978-nm laser diode (LD) pumping, and refractive index change after exposure to 266-nm laser pulses are obtained. There is only a little change in the PL spectra while a positive refractive index change up to 2\times10^{-4} is observed after 30-min exposure to 266-nm laser pulses. The results show that both of the peculiar photosensitivity of Sn-doped silica and the gain property of Yb-doped silica fiber are preserved in the Sn/Yb codoped silica optical fiber preform. The experimental data suggest that the photosensitivity of the fiber preform under high energy density laser irradiation should be mainly due to the bond-breaking of oxygen deficient defects, while under relatively low energy density laser irradiation, the refractive index change probably originates from the photoconversion of optically active defects..

The results indicate that when the exciting light wavelength is longer than 246 nm, there are two fluorescence peaks located at 305 and 334 nm, respectively. By measuring the excitation spectra, the optimal wavelengths of the two fluorescence peaks are obtained, which are 258 and 284 nm, respectively. Fluorescence spectra of acetic acid-water solution change with concentrations, which is primarily attributed to changes of molecular association of acetic acid in aqueous solution. Through theoretical analysis, three variations of molecular association have been obtained in acetic acid-water solution, which are the hydrated monomers, the linear dimers, and the water separated dimers. This research can provide references to studies of molecular association of acetic acid-water, especially studies of hydrogen bonds..
