Optical properties of InGaN/GaN red quantum well(QW) and their microcavities were studied and compared under optical pumping. Incidence of the excitation laser from the p-side was employed for both structures in order to acquire better emission characteristics. The QW structure was grown on sapphire substrate by metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy(MOVPE) with a blue pre-layer QW. X-ray and scanning transmission electron microscopy(STEM) measurements demonstrate the good crystalline quality. Emissions from both blue and red QWs were observed and demonstrated to be dominated by radiative recombination. For red InGaN microcavity with two dielectric distributed Bragg reflector(DBR) mirrors, a high Q factor of 2355 at the longitudinal mode of 612.3 nm was achieved. Discrete higher-order modes were also clearly observed, being attributed to the lateral confinement on the photons in the microcavity caused by change in the refractive index of the laser-irradiation area because of the increase of carrier density. The Purcell effect accelerates the radiation recombination rate, leading to the fast decay process in the red InGaN microcavity which does exist for QWs only. Compared with the red QW sample, the emission of red microcavities is much purer and more stable. The above results lay a foundation for the realization of InGaN-based red vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers(VCSELs) in the future.

Background: Real-time and rapid detection of ingredients in food has important significance for food safety. However, traditional detection methods not only require bulky and costly instruments but also are often based on single-mode analysis, limiting their accuracy and applications in point-of-care testing. Herein, an integrated and miniaturized dual-mode device based on colorimetric and photoacoustic (PA) principles is developed, using Au@Ag nanoparticles (Au@AgNPs) as signal probe and ascorbic acid (AA) and ascorbate oxidase (AAO) as analytes.

Excitons, bound electron-hole pairs, influence the optical properties in strongly interacting solid-state systems and are typically most stable and pronounced in monolayer materials. Bulk systems with large exciton binding energies, on the other hand, are rare and the mechanisms driving their stability are still relatively unexplored. Here, we report an exceptionally large exciton binding energy in single crystals of the bulk van der Waals antiferromagnet CrSBr.

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) are promising emitters for biological applications because of their excellent fluorescence, convenient surface modification, and photostability. However, the toxic cadmium composition in the state-of-the-art QDs and their inferior properties in the aqueous phase greatly restrict further use. The performance of water-soluble indium phosphide (InP) QDs lags far behind those of Cd-containing counterparts due to the lack of effective surface protection.

In the food industry, time-to-result is crucial for faster release of products, minimising recalls, mitigation of microbial contamination problems and, ultimately, food safety. Carrageenan is isolated from red seaweed (Rhodophyta) and applied in various foods and beverages as a gelling, thickening, texturing, or stabilizing agent due to its hygroscopic properties. Currently, the standard industry plate count method entails a one-hundred-fold dilution of the sample before mixing with molten agar for assessment of the level of microbial contamination in carrageenan samples prior to business-to-business shipment.
