AASERT-97 Development of New Diode Lasers

Abstract

This research explored new ways for diode laser fabrications. Focused was on the development of efficient organic light emitting materials and the fabrication of laser structures incorporating these materials. Very large optical gain was found due to stimulated emission in semiconducting conjugated polymers. Then we demonstrated that the huge light amplification can be used to build planar and ring lasers of very small sizes. We also investigated the optical properties of novel glass for amplifier and laser applications at communication wavelengths. We demonstrated light amplification at 1.3 micrometers and efficient room-temperature photoluminescence in glasses doped with PbS quantum dots. Our efforts resulted in 18 publications and 13 contributions to international conferences including 4 invited talks.
