Temperature Dependent Performance of 1.55 micron AlGaInAs MQW Laser Diodes

1.55 micron AlGaInAs multi-quantum-well lasers with varying quantum well strain and number of quantum wells are studied. Results show that high strain and more quantum wells lead to a high T_0 and high injection efficiency.

Fabrication and Characterization of a Near-IR Negative-Index Metal-Dielectric Composite Material

We report the fabrication and characterization of a metal-dielectric composite structure exhibiting a negative refractive index in the near-IR. The first metal-dielectric negative-index metamaterial at 2 micron, a wavelength about 10,000 times smaller than previously reported, has been demonstrated. The refractive index, uniquely determined from the experimental results, agrees with a RCWA simulation.
