摘要: Localized surface plasmons (LSPs) have played a significant role in improving the light emission efficiency of light emitting diodes (LEDs). In this report, polygonal nanoholes have been fabricated in the p-GaN layer of InGaN-based LEDs by using Ni nanoporous film as the etching mask, and then Au/Al metal nanoparticles are embedded in the nanoholes to form the LSP structure. The coupling between the LSP and the LED has been clearly observed. The results show that the light output of the LEDs has been increased by 46% at higher current injection condition, and together with a shift of the gain peak position to the LSP peak resonance energy. As the coupling distance is decreased from 60 nm to 30 nm, the maximum enhancement factor increases to 2.38. The above results indicate that the LSP from the polygonal metal nanoparticles is a kind of very promising structure to enhance the lighting performance of the InGaN-based LEDs.

摘要: In this paper, an on-chip photonic sampled and quantized analog-to-digital converter (ADC) on thin-film lithium niobate platform is experimentally demonstrated. Using two phase modulators as a sampler and a 5$\times$5 multimode interference (MMI) coupler as a quantizer, an 1 GHz sinusoidal analog input signal was successfully converted to a digitized output with a 20 GSample/s sampling rate. To evaluate the system performance, the quantization curves together with the transfer function of the ADC were measured. The experimental effective number of bits (ENOB) was 3.17 bit. The demonstrated device is capable of operating at a high frequency up to 70 GHz, making it a promising solution for on-chip ultra-high speed analog-to-digital conversion.
