We present a comprehensive model to study the thermal effects in quantum cascade (QC) lasers for continuous-wave (CW) operation at and above room temperature. This model self-consistently solves the… (More)
Infrared absorption spectroscopy of vibro-rotational molecular resonances provides a powerful method for investigation of a wide range of molecules and molecular compounds. However, the wavelength of… (More)
We report on room-temperature continuous-wave (CW) operation of lambda~8.2 mum quantum cascade lasers grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition without lateral regrowth. The lasers have been… (More)
A key issue in nanoimprint lithography (NIL) is determining the ultimate pitch resolution achievable for various pattern shapes and their critical dimensional control. To this end, we demonstrated… (More)
We present the temperature dependent minority carrier mobility of Ga-content varying InGaAs/InAsSb superlattice infrared detectors by combining time-resolved photoluminescence and electron beam… (More)
We demonstrate a technique for mapping the electric field profiles in resonant microwave circuits. Optical pumping of microwave circuits fabricated on semiconductor substrates is shown to result in a… (More)
The responsivity of room-temperature, semiconductor-based photodetectors consisting of resonant RF circuits coupled to microstrip buslines is investigated. The dependence of the photodetector… (More)
Low-ridge-configuration, quantum-cascade lasers operating at 5.3 mum provide, at 80 K, 12 W peak-pulsed power at 14 A drive. A model of current spreading that takes into account the lateral variation… (More)
We demonstrate the utility of epitaxially-grown, highly-doped semiconductors as plasmonic designer metals, with plasma wavelengths across a broad range of the mid-infrared. Micro-particles fabricated… (More)
Surface plasmon polaritons and their localized counterparts, surface plasmons, are widely used at visible and near-infrared (near-IR) frequencies to confine, enhance, and manipulate light on the… (More)
