In this paper, diversified ternaries, quaternaries and quinaries are presented geometrically based on the binaries of arsenide, phosphide and antimonide, mainly concerned of their bandgap, lattice constant and the lattice match domain on different substrates. The features of nitride and dilute nitride, bismide and dilute bismuth, as well as boride, are also discussed briefly. An overall observation of whole III-Vs may contribute to the comprehensive understanding of their latent capacity and sustainable development, along with a lot of challenges..

The active region of the gain chip is composed of two groups of quantum wells with different lasing wavelengths, one group of quantum wells with shorter wavelength operates by absorption pumping, and the other group of quantum wells with longer wavelength operates by in-well pumping. When the VECSEL is operating, the short-wavelength quantum wells pumped by the absorption region are first lased, due to the intensity modulation effect of the long-wavelength quantum wells on the short-wavelength quantum wells, it can be observed that the peak intensity of the spectrum oscillates periodically with time, pulsed operation of the VECSEL was observed by the highly sensitive detector. With the increasing of the pump power, stable dual-wavelength emission was achieved, the peak positions of emission wavelength are 967.5 nm and 969.8 nm respectively. The output power of the stable dual-wavelength emission can reach 560 mW, and the far fields show Gaussian cross-sections in orthogonal dimensions, and the divergence angles of 6.68° and 6.87° are obtained..

The electronThe considerations in the epitaxial and longitudinal design of a supper-large-optical-cavity structure diode laser in the 976-nm band are numerically studied and presented here. Mode control layers were designed underneath and up the quantum well layer to suppress the lasing of high-order transverse modes. The electron leakage was suppressed by a band energy engineering, where the electron barrier increases from the p-waveguide layer to the p-cladding layer. The optimized structure has an internal loss of 0.66 cm-1, an internal quantum efficiency of 0.954, and a full width at half maximum vertical far-field angle of 17.4°. For the resonant cavity design, a liner current profile along the cavity was proposed to reduce the longitudinal spatial hole burning effect, where a power penalty of 1.0 W at 20 A is suppressed. The 4-mm-long and 100 μm wide broad-area single emitter with the supper-large-optical-cavity epitaxial structure was designed to have a high power-efficiency of about 71% at an output power of 21 W under continuous current injection at 25°C..

The growth temperature, V/III ratio and arsenic dimer of In0.74Ga0.26As materials were investigated and adjusted to optimize the peak intensity of the photo luminescence and X-ray diffraction measurements, as well as background carrier concentration and mobility. Results show that moderate growth temperatures and V/III ratios are needed for the growth to improve the lattice quality, reduce the non-radiation recombination and decrease the background impurity concentration. The In0.74Ga0.26As materials grown using As2 dimer show better material quality than those using As4 dimer. For the material grown at 570 ℃, As2 dimer and V/III ratio of 18, relatively strong photo luminescence and X-ray diffraction peak intensity have been achieved. At room temperature and 77 K, the background carrier concentrations were 6.3×1014 cm-3 and 4.0×1014 cm-3, while the mobilities were 13 400 cm2/Vs and 45 160 cm2/Vs, respectively..

First, the band gaps of InAsP/InAsSb superlattices were calculated by k·p method, and it was found that their cut-off wavelength cover mid-wavelength infrared to long wave infrared region. Then, InAs0.8P0.2/InAs0.7Sb0.3 superlattices were chosen and grown on InAs substrate by MOCVD. XRD measurement shows that the lattice mismatches between the InAs substrate peak and 0th order satellite peak of superlattices is only 61", indicating strain balance condition is achieved. AFM test for surface morphology shows its root mean square roughness is only 0.4 nm for 5×5 μm2 regions. The low-temperature PL spectra shows strong superlattice emission with peak located around 3.3 μm, which is closed to the design value. All the results indicate the feasibility and practicality of strain balanced InAsP/InAsSb superlattices grown by MOCVD for infrared detection..

A magnetron sputtering system and an annealing furnace are employed to prepare the crystalline Sb2Te3 samples with different doping concentrations of Ti. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis confirmed that the Ti element exists in the Sb2Te3 films is in the form of TiTe2, in which the chemical state of Ti4+ arises. For linear optical properties, the results indicate that the Ti dopant can improve the transmittance of the Sb2Te3 films, when a wide working wavelength is used in the nonlinear devices. The optical band gap decreases from 1.32 eV to 1.25 eV for the Ti-doped Sb2Te3 films, which is dependent on the reduction of carriers according to the Burstein-Moss theory. An open-aperture Z-scan system is set up to determine the nonlinear saturated absorption of the film samples, which is excited by an 800 nm femtosecond laser at a power of 132 GW/cm2. Moreover, the adjustable behavior caused by Ti doping could be attributed to the competition between the decrease in the optical band gap and the inhibition of the crystallization. Additionally, it is interesting to ?nd that the Ti doping improves the laser damage threshold of the Sb2Te3 thin films from 188.6 to 265.5 GW/cm2. In general, the Ti-doped Sb2Te3 thin films have wide-ranging application possibilities for the field of nonlinear optical devices..

Specifically, for a single laser footprint, the simulated waveform based on airborne lidar point cloud data as prior measurements was matched with the captured waveform of the Gaofen-7 SLA. Within a laser track, the correlation coefficient of the matching results in successive footprints was calculated to further estimate the laser pointing and ranging information and re-geolocate the laser footprints in mountainous areas. A study area (the Utah State in USA) with local airborne lidar data was selected to verify the proposed method. With the mean surface slope of approximately 20°, the elevation accuracy of GaoFen-7’s laser footprints were improved from (2.45±2.93) m to (0.27±0.61) m, which proved the effectiveness of the proposed method..

The output performances of thesIn order to design high quality single pass-band wavelength channels, three types of micro-resonator photonic crystal waveguides with gradually varied formations are designed. Power transmission spectra of these waveguides are studied by using FDTD (Finite-Difference Time-Domain) method. The output performances of these structures are compared and analyzed by collecting the pass-bands parameters of power spectra. As the central rod radius value of the micro-resonator increases, single pass-band transmission patterns of every waveguide output show the law of three times regular periodic variations from the short wavelength to the long wavelength. Optimization of structural choices and structural parameter designs have favourable effects on the output performances, so all of these waveguides have promising potentials to develop more single pass-band wavelength channels. The results show that the optimized structures can possess high quality of single pass-band wavelength transmission characteristics, such as regular periodic variation patterns, favorable signal enhancement designs, stable transmission performances, excellent adaptability of broad bandwidth. The best type of the structural designs can be flexibly selected according to the required wavelength, and these waveguides have application values in the designs of dense optical communication system, integrated optical path, compact optical sensing interface etc..

Instead of bringing extra huge neurons, the network directly performs cross-scale feature interaction between the encoding and decoding sub-networks, maintain the response of small target in the deep CNN layers, and thus achieves the full fusion between the spatial structure features from shallow layers and high-level semantic features from deep layers. Based on cross-scale feature fusion module, a light-weight bottleneck attention module is introduced to further enhance the response the target feature in the deep layers of the network. Experimental results demonstrate that the network can effectively suppress the complex background clutter and achieve high performance of infrared small target detection with low amount of parameters..
