Materials Data on Ca(InP)2 by Materials Project

CaIn2P2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two CaIn2P2 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Ca2+ is bonded to six equivalent P3- atoms to form edge-sharing CaP6 octahedra. All Ca–P bond lengths are 2.97 Å. In2+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent P3- atoms. All In–P bond lengths are 2.63 Å. P3- is bonded to three equivalent Ca2+ and three equivalent In2+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing PCa3In3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°.

Quantum Fluctuations and Lineshape Anomaly in a High‐ β Silver‐Coated InP‐Based Metallic Nanolaser

Abstract Metallic nanocavity lasers provide important technological advancement toward even smaller integrable light sources. They give access to widely unexplored lasing physics in which the distinction between different operational regimes, like those of thermal or coherent light emission, becomes increasingly challenging upon approaching a device with a near‐perfect spontaneous‐emission coupling factor . In fact, quantum‐optical studies have to be employed to reveal a transition to coherent emission in the intensity fluctuation behavior of nanolasers when the input–output characteristic appears thresholdless for nanolasers. Here, a new indicator for lasing operation in high‐ lasers is identified by showing that stimulated emission can give rise to a lineshape anomaly manifested as a transition from a Lorentzian to a Gaussian component in the emission linewidth that dominates the spectrum above the lasing threshold.

Electronic structure, morphology and emission polarization of enhanced symmetry InAs quantum-dot-like structures grown on InP substrates by molecular beam epitaxy

The optical and structural properties of a new kind of InAs/InGaAlAs/InP quantum dot (QD)-like objects grown by molecular beam epitaxy have been investigated. These nanostructures were found to have significantly more symmetrical shapes compared to the commonly obtained dash-like geometries typical of this material system. The enhanced symmetry has been achieved due to the use of an As{sub 2} source and the consequent shorter migration length of the indium atoms. Structural studies based on a combination of scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and atom probe tomography (APT) provided detailed information on both the structure and composition distribution within an individual nanostructure. However, it was not possible to determine the lateral aspect ratio from STEM or APT. To verify the in-plane geometry, electronic structure calculations, including the energy levels and transition oscillator strength for the QDs have been performed using an eight-band k·p model and realistic system parameters. The results of calculations were compared to measured polarization-resolved photoluminescence data. On the basis of measured degree of linear polarization of the surface emission, the in-plane shape of the QDs has been assessed proving a substantial increase in lateral symmetry. This results in quantum-dot rather than quantum-dash like properties, consistent with expectations based on the growth conditions and the structural data.

Droplet epitaxial growth of highly symmetric quantum dots emitting at telecommunication wavelengths on InP(111)A

We demonstrate the formation of InAs quantum dots (QDs) on InAlAs/InP(111)A by means of droplet epitaxy. The C{sub 3v} symmetry of the (111)A substrate enabled us to realize highly symmetric QDs that are free from lateral elongations. The QDs exhibit a disk-like truncated shape with an atomically flat top surface. Photoluminescence signals show broad-band spectra at telecommunication wavelengths of 1.3 and 1.5 μm. Strong luminescence signals are retained up to room temperature. Thus, our QDs are potentially useful for realizing an entangled photon-pair source that is compatible with current telecommunication fiber networks.

Dual-wavelength InP quantum dot lasers

We have demonstrated a two-section dual-wavelength diode laser incorporating distributed Bragg reflectors, with a peak-wavelength separation of 62.5 nm at 300 K. Each lasing wavelength has a different temperature dependence, providing a difference-tuning of 0.11 nm/K. We discuss the mechanisms governing the light output of the two competing modes and explain how the short wavelength can be relatively insensitive to output changes at the longer wavelength. Starting from an initial condition when the output at both wavelengths are equal, a 500% increase in the long wavelength output causes the short wavelength output to fall by only 6%.
