Site-controlled quantum-wire photonic-crystal microcavity laser is experimentally demonstrated using optical pumping. The single-mode lasing and threshold are established based on the transient laser response, linewidth narrowing, and the details of the non-linear power input-output characteristics. Average-power threshold as low as approximately 240 nW (absorbed power) and spontaneous emission coupling coefficient beta approximately 0.3 are derived.

We investigate the band structure of metal-dielectric photonic crystals comprising stacked organic semiconductor microcavities with silver metal mirrors incorporating crystal defects: individual unit cells with aperiodic dimensionality. Both transfer matrix simulation and experimental verification are performed to investigate the impact on the photonic band structure as a single cavity is varied in size. The resulting mid-gap defect states are shown to hybridize with a photonic band at certain resonant dimensions.

Detecting unsafe levels of chemical gases and vapors is essential in improving and maintaining a healthy environment for all to enjoy. Propylene glycol is a colorless, synthetic gas commonly used in medications, fragrances, and cosmetics. It causes side effects such as headaches, lightheadedness, nausea, and fainting.

The temporal resonances partly resemble the optical resonances arising in conventional microcavities, since the amplified temporal EIA displays distinct spectral characteristics. Although an amplified EIT does not occur, a strongly amplified EIA affects the behavior of EIT as well.

We pioneered an angle-adjustable photonic crystal fluorescence platform (APC-Fluor) that integrates PCs, an angular resolution spectrometer and a strategically aligned laser source. This configuration, featuring a coaxial rotating swing arm, allows for precise control over the angles of incidence and emission. The presence of photonic crystal microcavities facilitates the dispersion of fluorescent materials and promotes the transition of electrons from the excited state to the lowest vibrational energy level.

The integration of GaSe shifts the dispersion bands of the PC waveguide mode into the bandgap, resulting in localized modes confined by the bare PC waveguides. Thanks to the small contrast of refractive index at the boundaries of the microcavity, it is reliable to obtain quality factors exceeding 10.
