Wesleyan Physics Department Colloquium – April 3rd
“Active Photonic nanomaterials: from disordered to periodic structures”
Prof. Hui Cao, Yale University
Active photonic nanomaterials, which have high gain or large nonlinearity, are essential to the development of nanophotonic devices and circuits. In this talk, I will provide a review of our recent research activities related to the fabrication of active photonic nanomaterials and the development of photonic devices based on such materials. In particular, we focus on a wide bandgap semiconductor zinc oxide and fabricate a broad range of structures, from disordered to periodic, with various nanofabrication techniques. Lasing in the near-ultraviolet frequency has been realized in both periodic and random structures at room temperature under optical pumping.
