Hot electron noise in n-type GaAs in crossed electric and magnetic fields
2006
A Monte Carlo analysis of hot electron transport properties of bulk \textit{n}-type GaAs in crossed electric and magnetic fields is presented. %Magnetic field strengths allowing negligible quantum effects in the electron dynamics during free flights are considered. Effects due to the nonparabolicity of bands are properly taken into account by means of a local parabolic approximation. Stochastic properties of electron transport are analyzed by computing the velocity auto-correlation function and the spectral density of fluctuations. It is shown how the presence of the magnetic field is able to deeply modify electron noise up to high electric field strengths. The resulting features of the vel…
PhoXonic Whispering Gallery Mode Resonators: parametrical optomechanic oscillations and its applications
2021
We report on the experimental analysis of parametrical optomechanical oscillations and photo-acoustical applications such as flow cytometers in hollow phoxonic whispering gallery mode resonators. Both phenomena can be enchanced or suppressed and showed chaotic behavior.
Interrogation of whispering-gallery modes resonances in cylindrical microcavities by backreflection detection
2009
The excitation of whispering-gallery-mode resonances of cylindrical microcavities, using narrow fiber tapers, produces simultaneously the excitation of spiral modes. The power coupled to the spiral modes leads to a significant broadening of the dips observed in the spectrum of light transmitted through the taper. We demonstrate that whispering-gallery modes resonances of cylindrical microcavities can also be interrogated by measuring the reflection spectrum. Unlike the dips observed in transmission, the peaks in the reflection spectrum are symmetric and narrower than the corresponding transmission dips.
Analytical description of resonances in Fabry–Perot and whispering gallery mode resonators
2021
Whispering gallery mode optical resonators have attracted attention due to their simplicity and applicability for sensing. In this paper, analytical formulas are provided that describe resonance conditions in optical resonators. Basic terms (resonance wavelengths and frequencies, free spectral range, Q -factor, summation principle of Q -factors of various processes, finesse, etc.) are introduced. A description of interference of an infinite number of waves of progressively smaller amplitudes and equal phase differences is given. A description of a Fabry–Perot resonator with nonequal reflection coefficients is also given as well as analysis of all-pass and add-drop optical filters. The prese…
Monte Carlo Analysis of Voltage-Current Characteristic Nonlinearity and Harmonic Generation in Submicron Semiconductor Structures
2006
Using a multiparticles Monte Carlo technique, we investigate the dependence of the nonlinear carrier dynamics in GaAs n+nn+ structures operating under very intense sub-terahertz signals from some process parameters as: i) the frequency and the intensity of the excitation signal and ii) the length of the n region
Comparative analysis of spectral coherence in microresonator frequency combs
2014
Microresonator combs exploit parametric oscillation and nonlinear mixing in an ultrahigh-Q cavity. This new comb generator offers unique potential for chip integration and access to high repetition rates. However, time-domain studies reveal an intricate spectral coherence behavior in this type of platform. In particular, coherent, partially coherent or incoherent combs have been observed using the same microresonator under different pumping conditions. In this work, we provide a numerical analysis of the coherence dynamics that supports the above experimental findings and verify particular design rules to achieve spectrally coherent microresonator combs. A particular emphasis is placed in u…
Realization of a robust single-parameter quantized charge pump
2008
This paper describes a novel scheme for quantized charge pumping based on single-parameter modulation. The device is realized in an AlGaAs-GaAs gated nanowire. A particular advantage of this realization is that operation in the quantized regime can be achieved in a potentially large range of amplitude and dc off-set of the driving signal. This feature together with the simple configuration might enable large scale parallel operation of many such devices.
Dynamic $\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{ON}}$ evaluation of commercial GaN HEMT under different switching and radiation conditions
2019
This paper focus on the study of dynamic resistance $(\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{dyn}})$ over commercial Gallium Nitride High Electromobility Transistors (GaN HEMTs) devices. The first part shows a study of the main mechanism causing $\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{dyn}}$ , showing that depending on the structure, stress time, voltage applied and switching conditions, the $\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{dyn}}$ can suffer a relevant increase. Also, it is demonstrated how the use of soft-switching conditions can alleviate trapping effects. Finally, due to the interest over these devices for future space applications, the effects of gamma radiation over the $\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{dyn}}$ has been studied.
Optical Frequency Combs Generated in Silica Microspheres in the Telecommunication C-, U-, and E-Bands
2021
Optical frequency combs (OFCs) generated in microresonators with whispering gallery modes are demanded for different applications including telecommunications. Extending operating spectral ranges is an important problem for wavelength-division multiplexing systems based on microresonators. We demonstrate experimentally three spectrally separated OFCs in the C-, U-, and E-bands in silica microspheres which, in principle, can be used for telecommunication applications. For qualitative explanation of the OFC generation in the sidebands, we calculated gain coefficients and gain bandwidths for degenerate four-wave mixing (FWM) processes. We also attained a regime when the pump frequency was in t…
