摘要:The nonlinear up-conversion optical properties of ZnO micro-belt and ZnO Fabry-Pérot(F-P) microcavity were studied by using frequency-resolved interferometric autocorrelation. ZnO micro-belt were prepared by chemical vapor deposition(CVD) method and dry-transferred between a pair of distributed Bragg reflectors(DBR) to form a two-dimensional strongly coupled F-P microcavity. A home-built micro-spectroscopy system was used for interferometric autocorrelation and angle-resolved spectral measurements. The experimental results showed that when pumping ZnO samples with near-infrared ultrafast lasers, both second harmonic generation(SHG) and multi-photon absorption(MPA) upconversion fluorescence signals coexisted. The distinction between SHG and MPA signals could be achieved through different characteristic lines on the frequency spectra. In the case of ZnO F-P microcavity, SHG and MPA signals occupied different emission angles. The competitive relationship between MPA exciton-polaritons and SHG in the strong coupled microcavity system was discussed. Our results provided a reference for the study of microcavity lasers through higher-order nonlinear upconversion methods.

Finally, the remaining issues and future development directions of ZnO-based devices have been summarized.
摘要:Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technology is a highly sensitive, selective, and non-destructive spectroscopic analysis method that effectively addresses the challenge of weak Raman scattering signals. Over the past few decades, significant progress has been made in SERS biosensing technology, including the understanding of enhancement mechanisms, development of enhancement materials, preparation of high-performance substrates, and the creation of novel SERS detection technologies and equipment. However, the design and preparation of high-performance SERS substrates and the development of novel SERS detection technologies remain necessary to achieve quantitative biosensing and the identification of complex substances. Whispering gallery mode (WGM) optical microcavities can significantly enhance the interaction between the light field and matter within the cavity. The combination of WGM microcavity and SERS technology can give full play to the synergistic coupling advantages of WGM effect and SERS effect, and it is expected to realize the double enhancement of Raman scattering. In this paper, the SERS enhanced mechanism was elaborated from electromagnetic field enhancement, chemical enhancement and their synergistic enhancement. The SERS enhanced mechanism of semiconductor materials and metal-semiconductor composite system was analyzed with zinc oxide (ZnO) as the representative. The SERS synergism in optical resonator system was discussed, and the recent research progress of WGM microcavity in synergistically enhancing SERS biosensing was reviewed.
摘要:Brain-like neuromorphic computing is expected to overcome the bottleneck of traditional von Neumann computing architecture, achieving low power consumption and highly efficient information processing, thereby advancing artificial intelligence technology. Artificial synapses are key hardware for building neuromorphic systems, among which photoelectric synapses combine the advantages of electronics and photonics, offering multiple functions such as optical perception, information computation and storage. Emerging all-optically controlled photoelectric synapses, which allow nonvolatile increase and decrease in conductance by optical signals, can effectively prevent damage to the device microstructure caused by electrical signals, improving working stability, and endow synaptic devices with new functions. Oxide is the most widely used artificial synaptic material because of its ease of preparation and good compatibility with CMOS technology. This paper reviews the research progress of all-optically controlled (AOC) oxide synapses with long-term plasticity. The AOC synapses are discussed in terms of conductance modulation methods, including light wavelength and light power density modulation, focusing on device structure, material selection, and photoelectric response mechanism. Finally, we analyze the current challenges faced by all-optically controlled synapses.

摘要:Color conversion display technology utilizes the photoluminescent properties of light emitting materials to convert high-energy blue excitation light into red and green light through the color conversion layer, so as to obtain the full-color display effect. Metal halide perovskites have emerged as light emitting materials which exhibit outstanding optoelectronic properties of near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield, high color purity, and low manufacturing cost, making them as a key light emitting materials for ultra-high-definition displays.

摘要:Thermal quenching (TQ) at elevated temperature is a major factor affecting the luminescent intensity and efficiency of phosphors. Improving the thermal stability of phosphors and weakening the TQ effect are of significance for the high-quality illumination of phosphor-converted WLEDs. Here, a novel red-emitting phosphor K2Zn(PO3)4∶Mn2+ is synthesized by standard high temperature solid state reaction in ambient atmosphere, which is a new member of self-reduction system. An effective synthesis strategy is proposed to optimize its photoluminescent performances. Combined with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, oxygen vacancy defects introduced by Mn doping are proved to play an important role in the transition of Mn4+→Mn2+. Thermoluminescence analysis reveals that the distribution of trap levels, especially the deep ones, is effectively regulated by the controllable crystallization and significantly affect the thermal stability of phosphors. Then a defect-assisted model is proposed to address the inner mechanism of the phenomenon. The carriers trapped by deep trap levels can be released under the high-temperature stimulus, which return back to the luminescent centers and participate in the radiative recombination to improve thermal stability. This study provides a new crystallographic idea and theoretical support for obtaining luminescent materials with high thermal stability.
摘要:As a promising new material, metal halide perovskite is rising as a shining star in the field of optoelectronics. In this paper, 3D CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals were prepared by a conventional thermal injection method. The phase transitions between 3D CsPbBr3, 0D Cs4PbBr6, and 2D CsPb2Br5 have been realized by adding ligands or polar solvents, and their unique optical properties were investigated and compared. Under UV excitation, CsPbBr3, CsPbBr3@Cs4PbBr6, and CsPbBr3@CsPb2Br5 all emit bright green light with fluorescence lifetime on the nanosecond scale. The fluorescence lifetime of the composite structures CsPbBr3@Cs4PbBr6 and CsPbBr3@CsPb2Br5 is almost the same as that of CsPbBr3, suggesting that the emission of the CsPbBr3@Cs4PbBr6 and CsPbBr3@CsPb2Br5 complexes are all from CsPbBr3 nanocrystals. In addition, the addition of ligands enabled the transformation of CsPbBr3 to Cs4PbBr6, and the polar solvent water-induced phase transition from CsPbBr3 to CsPb2Br5 was also confirmed. This work not only provides a simple method for the preparation of composite structured perovskites, but also provides some knowledge about the degradation of lead-halide perovskites in humidity environment.
摘要:Ga2O3-B2O3-ZnO-TiO2-Tb2O3 glasses doped with different rare-earth oxides (Pr6O11, Ho2O3, Dy2O3) were prepared using the high-temperature melting method. The effects of doping different rare-earth oxides on the structure, physical properties, optical properties, and magneto-optical properties of Ga2O3-B2O3-ZnO-TiO2-Tb2O3 glasses were studied. After doping with different rare-earth oxides, the density, refractive index, and Verdet constant of the glass all increase. As the wavelength of incident light and temperature increase, the absolute value of the glass’s Verdet constant gradually decreases. At a temperature of 298.15 K and an incident light wavelength of 633 nm, when the doping amounts of Tb2O3 and Ho2O3 were 40% and 1% respectively, the Verdet constant of the glass reached -156.45 rad/(T·m), which is higher than that of the commercial Tb3Ga5O12 crystal (-134 rad/(T·m)). At a temperature of 298.15 K and an incident light wavelength of 515 nm, the Verdet constant of the glass reached -189.80 rad/(T·m), indicating its potential application value in the field of optoelectronic functional materials.
摘要:During the last ten years, near ultraviolet organic light-emitting diodes (NUV-OLEDs) have been widely concerned by researchers due to their NUV photon-emitting capability. However, when the electroluminescence (EL) wavelength is extended below 400 nm, how to increase the radiance of devices has become a technical challenge. In this research, small molecules of BCPO and TAZ with wide bandgap were used as the luminescent material. Then, NUV-OLEDs based on BCPO and TAZ with single unit and tandem structure were fabricated, respectively. And their EL properties were compared. The measurement results show that the EL performance of double unit tandem NUV-OLEDs is significantly better than that of single unit NUV-OLEDs. Single unit BCPO-based NUV-OLEDs showed the maximum external quantum efficiency (EQEmax) of 2.91% and the maximum radiance (Rmax) of 34.2 mW/cm2. The peak wavelength (λEL) was 384 nm and the proportion of NUV light with wavelength below 400 nm (PNUV) was 56.9% in their EL spectra. In comparison, double unit BCPO-based tandem NUV-OLEDs showed EQEmax = 5.73%, Rmax = 52.8 mW/cm2, λEL = 384 nm, and PNUV = 60.5%. Single unit TAZ-based NUV-OLEDs showed EQEmax = 3.65%, Rmax = 15.7 mW/cm2, λEL = 377 nm, and PNUV = 79.1%. In comparison, double unit TAZ-based tandem NUV-OLEDs showed EQEmax = 7.21%, Rmax = 29.4 mW/cm2, λEL = 377 nm, and PNUV = 79.6%. In addition, tandem NUV-OLEDs exhibited better luminescence stability than that of single unit devices because of the significantly lower current density required for tandem NUV-OLEDs compared to single unit NUV-OLEDs.
摘要:The latest development of integrated photonic device technology fully meets the market demand for compact and efficient optoelectronic systems, and also effectively promotes the development of optical metasurface technology. Among them, the integration of vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) and metasurface can generate vector beams with specific wavefronts, which greatly enhances the functionality and flexibility of optoelectronic systems. In this paper, an 850 nm VCSEL based on Si3N4 nanoantenna array metasurface is designed. By adjusting the structural parameters of the nanoantenna, more than 2 phase coverage is achieved, and vortex beams of different orders are successfully generated by using first-order and second-order vortex phase plates. This result provides a new idea for the optical metasurface control of VCSEL light field technology.
摘要:A 2-μm-band single-longitudinal-mode(SLM) thulium-holmium co-doped fiber laser enabled by a tunable active dual-coupler ring based compound-cavity(ADCR-CC) filter is proposed and demonstrated. The ADCR-CC filter with adjustable filtering bandwidth(full-width at half-maximum, FWHM) and transmittance is combined with a fiber Bragg grating(FBG) to realize SLM laser output. When the pump powers of the main cavity and the compound-cavity are 1.8 W and 1.1 W, respectively, the wavelength of the measured laser output is 2 048.510 nm, the optical signal-to-noise ratio is as high as 83.08 dB, and the maximal spectral center wavelength and peak spectral power fluctuations within 90 min are 0.006 nm and 0.19 dB, respectively, with the laser output power of 50.03 mW. By adjusting the equal strength cantilever beam to change the strain acting on the FBG, the SLM laser can achieve a wavelength-tunable output in the range of 1.45 nm.
摘要:The integration of chip substrates with microchannels represents a cutting-edge research focus globally. Compared to traditional liquid-cooled microchannel heat sinks, this technology offers revolutionary advantages and has been successfully applied in chips like insulated gate bipolar transistor, demonstrating exceptional cooling performance. As the demand for higher output power from semiconductor laser chips in large scientific facilities and industrial applications increases, heat management has become a critical issue. Traditional research on laser bar cooling has mainly focused on optimizing liquid-cooled heat sink structures. However, their cooling capacity is constrained by thermal resistance of the heat transfer path. To address this challenge, this study proposes a novel distributed flow pattern structure based on the integration of chip substrates with microchannels, aiming for efficient cooling of semiconductor laser bars. This design significantly shortens the heat transfer path and reduces thermal resistance, effectively lowering the chip junction temperature and cooling flow rate. It provides essential technical support for achieving highly integrated and high heat dissipation laser bars. The research indicates that the proposed distributed flow pattern structure overcomes the design challenges of microchannels in semiconductor laser bar substrates. Under liquid cooling conditions of 0.35 L/min@20 ℃, it achieves the target of a chip temperature rise of ≤40 ℃, with a simulated result of a temperature rise of 30.52 ℃ at a high heat flux density of 1 000 W/cm and an optimal filling factor of 0.25.
摘要:Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) molecules have outstanding potential for applications in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Due to the lack of systematic studies on the correlation between molecular structure and luminescence properties, TADF molecules are far from meeting the needs of practical applications in terms of variety and number. In this paper, three twisted TADF molecules are studied and their photophysical properties are theoretically predicted based on the thermal vibrational correlation function method combined with multiscale calculations. The results show that all the molecules exhibit fast reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) rates (kRISC), predicting their TADF luminescence properties. In addition, the binding of DHPAzSi as the donor unit with different acceptors can change the dihedral angle between the ground and excited states, and the planarity of the acceptors is positively correlated with the reorganization energy, a property that has a strong influence on the non-radiative process. Furthermore, a decrease in the energy of the molecular charge transfer state and an increase in the kRISC were observed in the films. This study not only provides a reliable explanation for the observed experimental results, but also offers valuable insights that can guide the design of future TADF molecules.
摘要:Micro-light-emitting diodes (Micro-LEDs) with high brightness, high contrast, low energy consumption and fast response and other excellent characteristics, are widely used in outdoor display, augmented reality and virtual reality and other fields. However, the miniaturization of Micro-LEDs brings challenges to the control of light intensity distribution. In order to improve its luminous efficiency, patterned sapphire substrate (PSS) technology is often used to optimize the light extraction efficiency through micron-scale patterned structures. In large-size LEDs, PSS has a small effect on the spatial distribution of light intensity, but it has a significant effect in micro-level LEDs. In this paper, the ray tracing method is employed to systematically study the spatial distribution of light intensity in PSS Micro-LEDs of different sizes, with an emission wavelength of 460 nm, under various array offsets. The spatial asymmetry of the light intensity distribution is also quantified. The results show that as the size decreases, the influence of PSS on the spatial distribution of light intensity increases. When the size is 3 μm×5 μm, the asymmetry of the spatial distribution of light intensity reaches 3.06% on the y-axis and 4.22% on the x-axis, thus affecting the luminous uniformity of the Micro-LED. This study provides theoretical support for the optimal design of Micro-LEDs in display applications.
