Wavelength Tuning in Resonant Cavity Interband Cascade Light Emitting Diodes (RCICLEDs) via Post Growth Cavity Length Adjustment.

We demonstrate substrate-emitting resonant cavity interband cascade light emitting diodes (RCICLEDs) based on a single distributed Bragg reflector (DBR). These devices operate in continuous wave mode at room temperature. Compared to standard ICLEDs without a cavity, we achieved an 89% reduction in the emission spectrum width, as indicated by the Full Width Half Maximum (FWHM) of 70 nm.

Resonant Tunneling Diodes: Mid-Infrared Sensing at Room Temperature.

Resonant tunneling diode photodetectors appear to be promising architectures with a simple design for mid-infrared sensing operations at room temperature. We fabricated resonant tunneling devices with GaInAsSb absorbers that allow operation in the 2-4 μm range with significant electrical responsivity of 0.97 A/W at 2004 nm to optical readout.
