Coherent acoustic phonons in InGaN multiple quantum wells

Conference Conference on Quantum Electronics and Laser Science QELS Technical Digest Series · January 1, 2002 Coherent bulk and zone folded longitudinal acoustic phonons were generated in InGaN MQWs using impulsive optical techniques. It was observed that the frequency of the oscillations was changed by the changing quantum well period. The bulk phonon transport i ... Cite

Enhancement of spontaneous emission rate in nitrides by resonant surface plasmon coupling

Conference Conference on Quantum Electronics and Laser Science QELS Technical Digest Series · January 1, 2002 Spontaneous emission rate in nitrides was enhanced. The degree of enhancement increased with increasing film thickness and decreasing GaN cap layer thickness. Enhancement factors of almost 100 were indicated by dramatically accelerated TRPL decay at a freq ... Cite

Temperature dependence and reflection of coherent acoustic phonons in InGaN multiple quantum wells

Conference Physica Status Solidi B Basic Research · January 1, 2001 Sub-picosecond optical pump-probe techniques were used to generate coherent zone-folded longitudinal acoustic phonons (ZFLAPs) in an InGaN multiple quantum well structure. Differential transmission measurements revealed that carriers injected near the barr ... Full text Cite
