Red narrow-linewidth lasing and frequency comb from gain-switched self-injection-locked Fabry-Pérot laser diode.

Narrow-linewidth lasers are in extensive demand for numerous cutting-edge applications. Such lasers operating at the visible range are of particular interest. Self-injection locking of a laser diode frequency to a high-Q whispering gallery mode is an effective and universal way to achieve superior laser performance.

Optimization of laser stabilization via self-injection locking to a whispering-gallery-mode microresonator: experimental study.

Self-injection locking of a diode laser to a high-quality-factor microresonator is widely used for frequency stabilization and linewidth narrowing. We constructed several microresonator-based laser sources with measured instantaneous linewidths of 1 Hz and used them for investigation and implementation of the self-injection locking effect. We studied analytically and experimentally the dependence of the stabilization coefficient on tunable parameters such as locking phase and coupling rate.

Polarization Sensitive Photodetectors Based on Two-Dimensional WSe.

In this work we show the possibility of imparting polarization-sensitive properties to two-dimensional films of graphene-like semiconductors, using WSe as an example, by the application of ordered silver triangular nanoprisms. In addition, such nanoprisms made it possible to increase the optical sensitivity of optical detectors created on two-dimensional films by a factor of five due to surface plasmon resonance. The peculiarities of the surface plasmon resonance were shown by theoretical modeling, and the optimal conditions of its occurrence were determined.

Vanadium O-Centered Selenoiodide Complex: Synthesis and Structure of VO(Se)I·I.

The first vanadium selenoiodide VO(Se)I·I was synthesized at a moderate temperature of 220 °C from V, Se, I, and water. Its crystal structure (tetragonal space group 4/, = 11.838(1) Å, = 18.
