    Notes: The Raman effect in semiconductor waveguides below half-gap is studied both experimentally and numerically. We report the depolarized Raman gain spectra up to 300 cm−1 in Al0.24Ga0.76As at pump wavelengths of 0.515 and 1.55 μm from the measurement of the absolute Raman scattering cross sections using GaAs as a reference scatterer. In addition, the coupled propagation equations for the AlGaAs waveguides are modified to include the Raman effect. By solving the coupled propagation equations numerically, we verify that the energy transfer between two orthogonally polarized pulses demonstrated in previous pump-probe experiments [M. N. Islam et al., J. Appl. Phys. 71, 1927 (1992)] is caused by Raman effect. We also show numerically that the Raman effect induces spectral distortions on the pulses, and the energy transfer is inversely proportional to the pulse widths. The energy transfer results in a severe cross-talk problem for sub-picosecond pulses in AlGaAs waveguides. For example, the energy exchange is about 30% for 300 fs pulses under π phase shift conditions. Therefore, the Raman effect limits the performance of semiconductor waveguides in optical switching applications for sub-picosecond pulses. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We observe pulse breakup for 650-fs pulses propagating through 9 m of optical fiber followed by an InGaAsP amplifier. The pulses are broadened by a factor of two, and a second peak appears at about 2 ps after the main peak. To identify the responsible mechanisms, we solve numerically the propagation equations including nonlinear carrier dynamics and gain dispersion. We attribute the broadening to two photon absorption and the breakup to the interplay between linear gain dispersion and frequency chirp in the amplifier. These pulse distortions could impact devices involving fibers and semiconductor amplifiers for high speed (〉200 Gb/s) optical switching or transmission. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Ultrafast optical switching in a semiconductor laser amplifier (SLA) at transparency current is studied under a strong pump condition. The switch configuration is a nonlinear optical loop mirror with a SLA as the nonlinear element. We demonstrate optical switching with 2 ps recovery time and 60% nonlinear transmission at switching energy of 9 pJ. We find that the transparency current is pump power dependent and that the transparency current is different for uniform 7-bit input control pulses at 100 Gb/s. We believe these two outcomes are due to significant carrier generation via two photon absorption (TPA) at high pump intensity. To verify our hypothesis, we modify coupled propagation equations by including the carrier generation due to the TPA and solve the equations numerically. Good agreement between the experimental and simulation results is obtained. We conclude that to achieve complete pattern-independent 100 Gb/s optical switching using a SLA at transparency current, we have to avoid TPA or use the SLA with a transit time shorter than the control pulse width. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Mössbauer spectroscopy is used to extract depth sensitive information near the surface of an Fe film in Fe/MnF2 bilayers. We find that the hyperfine field at the surface has a quasilinear temperature dependence. For layers deeper into the film, the quasilinear temperature dependence diminishes and deep enough into the films, the hyperfine field goes like T3/2 as expected for bulk. We interpret this behavior as evidence of surface spin wave modes created by a perpendicular surface anisotropy, as previously predicted. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We present photoinduced intersubband absorption measurements in HgCdTe undoped quantum wells. The transition energies and the linewidths are well described by a full 8×8 k⋅p Kane model calculation. Also, based on this model we show that different in-plane effective masses for the first and second electron subbands should be considered in order to properly fit the low energy side of the experimental spectra. The experimental results can be explained using the calculated intersubband oscillator strength with no exciton enhancement. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We demonstrate that fiber-optic probes with an intermediate section followed by a rapidly tapering tip lead to transmission efficiency enhancement of better than four orders-of-magnitude at 60 nm tip diameter and more than five orders-of-magnitude at smaller than 40 nm tip diameter over typical taffy-pulled fiber probes. Our highest resolution probes have a tip diameter of 30 nm with a transmission efficiency of 0.02%, and as an example we image tobacco mosaic virus with a resolution better than 35 nm. The probes are made in a two-step process involving pulling and then etching that permits both high efficiency and control of the mechanical resonance properties. The efficiency is enhanced by reducing the distance that the electromagnetic mode travels in the cut-off mode of the fiber probe. The higher resolution is achieved because sharper tips can be made through the etching process. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract The D4S95-VNTR locus was amplified and the polymorphism analysed in a population sample of 169 randomly selected Japanese individuals. A total of 14 alleles containing 850–1360 base pairs were distinguished by agarose gel electrophoresis. The distribution of alleles was symmetrical with respect to one peak at 1030 bp. The mean exclusion chance and discrimination power were calculated as 0.604 and 0.876 respectively.
