Back to MBE Heterostructure for Wave Engineering

In collaboration with the PMTeQ at INSP, Jussieu, we have developed Bragg mirror waveguide (Fig. 1) embedding a low density InAs quantum dot layer (Fig. 2). The ridge etching was fabricated by our colleagues from the . The waveguide is doped, and electrically connected to generate an electric field at the quantum layer position. This geometry has enabled our colleagues to perform pump-probe experiment with the pump working at the same wavelength as the detection. The pump is sent from the edge of the waveguide and the photoluminescence is collected perpendicular to the surface.
