Ultralow-loss silicon ring resonators

Optics Letters

Biberman, Aleksandr; Shaw, Michael J.; Timurdogan, Erman; Wright, Jeremy B.; Watts, Michael R.

We experimentally demonstrate silicon ring resonators with internal quality factors of Q0 = 2.2 × 107, corresponding to record 2.7 dB/m propagation losses. Importantly, we show that these propagation losses are limited by bend loss, indicating that the propagation loss limit for silicon has not yet been reached. © 2012 Optical Society of America.

Single-mode GaN nanowire lasers

Optics Express

Li, Qiming L.; Wright, Jeremy B.; Chow, Weng W.; Luk, Ting S.; Brener, Igal B.; Lester, Luke F.; Wang, George T.

We demonstrate stable, single-frequency output from single, asfabricated GaN nanowire lasers operating far above lasing threshold. Each laser is a linear, double-facet GaN nanowire functioning as gain medium and optical resonator, fabricated by a top-down technique that exploits a tunable dry etch plus anisotropic wet etch for precise control of the nanowire dimensions and high material gain. A single-mode linewidth of ∼0.12 nm and >18dB side-mode suppression ratio are measured. Numerical simulations indicate that single-mode lasing arises from strong mode competition and narrow gain bandwidth. © 2012 Optical Society of America.
