Variable optical buffer using slow light in semiconductor nanostructures

A compact variable all-optical buffer using semiconductor quantum dot (QD) structures is proposed and analyzed. The buffering effect is achieved by slowing down the optical signal using an external control light source to vary the dispersion characteristic of the medium via an electromagnetically induced transparency effect. We present a theoretical investigation of the criteria for achieving slow light in semiconductor QDs. A QD structure in the presence of strain is analyzed with the inclusion of polarization-dependent intersubband dipole selection rules. Experimental methods to synthesize and the measurements of coherent properties in state-of-the-art QDs are surveyed. Slow-light effects in uniform and nonuniform QDs are compared. Finally, optical signal propagation through the semiconductor optical buffer is presented to demonstrate the feasibility for practical applications.

Digital optical signal processing with polarization-bistable semiconductor lasers

The operations of a complete set of optical AND, NAND, OR, and NOR gates and clocked opticalS-R, D, J-K,andTflip-flops are demonstrated, based on direct polarization switching and polarization bistability, which we have recently observed in InGaAsP/InP semiconductor lasers. By operating the laser in the direct-polarization-switchable mode, the output of the laser can be directly switched between the TM00and TE00modes with high extinction ratios by changing the injection-current level, and optical logic gates are constructed with two optoelectronic switches or photodetectors. In the polarization-bistable mode, the laser exhibits controllable hysteresis loops in the polarization-resolved power versus current characteristics. When the laser is biased in the middle of hysteresis loop, the light output can be switched between the two polarization states by injection of short electrical or optical pulses, and clocked optical flip-flops are constructed with a few optoelectronic switches and/or photodetectors. The 1 and 0 states of these devices are defined through polarization changes of the laser and direct complement functions are obtainable from the TE and TM output signals from the same laser. Switching of the polarization-bistable lasers with fast-rising current pulses has an instrument-limited mode-switching time on the order of 1 ns. With fast optoelectronic switches and/or fast photodetectors, the overall switching speed of the logic gates and flip-flops is limited by the polarization-bistable laser to < 1 ns. We have demonstrated the operations of these devices using optical signals generated by semiconductor lasers. The proposed schemes of our devices are compatible with monolithic integration based on current fabrication technology and are applicable to other types of bistable semiconductor lasers.

Biosensors based on a method for determining the conductance matrix of multiterminal semiconductor nanostructures

A method for determining the conductance matrix is analyzed to study the properties of silicon nanostructures fabricated within Hall geometry on an n-type Si(100) surface as ultra-narrow p-type silicon quantum wells bounded by δ barriers heavily doped with boron. Within the proposed approach, the total current flowing through the multiterminal silicon nanostructure is written in the matrix form as I = G · V, where I and V are the columns of currents and voltages for each of the N terminals, G is the N × N conductance matrix uniquely describing the conductance of the structure under study, taking into account the contribution of contact-area resistances. The high sensitivity of matrix elements to changes in the state of the silicon nanostructure surface under conditions of the precipitation of sodium-acetate solution containing single-strand synthetic oligonucleotides is demonstrated. The prospects of practical application of the results obtained in developing modern biosensors based on determining the conductance matrix of multiterminal semiconductor nanostructures are discussed.
