Coherent Frequency Combs produced by Self Frequency Modulation in Quantum Cascade Lasers
Jacob Khurgin, Yamac Dikmelik, Andreas Hugi +1
One salient characteristic of Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL) is its very shor gain recovery time that so far thwarted the attempts to achieve self-mode locking of the device into a tr…
Plasmonic enhancement of the third order nonlinear optical phenomena: figures of merit
Jacob B Khurgin, Greg Sun
Recent years have seen increased interest to plasmonic enhancement of nonlinear optical effects, yet there remains an uncertainty of what are the limits of this enhancement. We pre…
Spasers, VCSELs, and Surface plasmon emitting diodes (SPED): their unique features and figures of merit
Jacob B Khurgin, Greg Sun
We compare fundamental characteristics of proposed electrically pumped subwavelength plasmonic lasers (spasers) with ubiquitous all-dielectric semiconductor micro-lasers (VCSEL) an…
Optically induced currents in dielectrics as a nonlinear optical effect
Jacob B. Khurgin
We show that recently observed DC currents produced by below-the-bandgap femtosecond pulses [1] can be explained as nonlinear optical effects based on multi-photon quantum interfer…
