Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The field of semiconductor optics is vast and intriguing with its applications in many fields including, but not limited to, energy detection and conversion, optical waveguides, optoelectronics, integrated optics, and optical communications. Moreover, due to the rich tunable and unique electro-optic, thermo-optic, and non-linear optical properties specific to semiconductor materials, cutting-edge, efficient, and low power-consuming optoelectronic, all-optical devices, chemical and biosensors, biomedical imaging and neuro-inspired ultra-fast optical computing devices are suggested. The prospects for these applications are even more exciting with the advent of semiconductor plasmonics, which offer next-generation photonic integrated circuits with ultra-small footprints and high-performance optical detectors.

We are pleased to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue on “Semiconductor Optics”. This Special Issue aims to collect the latest experimental and theoretical research articles on the electro-optical, thermo-optical, and non-linear properties of semiconductors and their applications. The scope of this Special Issue covers the advances in the field of semiconductor optics.

Original research and review articles are welcome in this Special Issue. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: optoelectronic devices, ultrafast optics, semiconductor plasmonics, photodetectors, non-linear optics, semiconductor lasers, integrated optics, metamaterials, optical spectroscopy, multiphysics modeling of electro-optic, thermo-optic, and non-linear effects.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

A theoretical analysis is presented for a recently proposed high-speed µ-OLED optically pumped organic laser. We confirm that for this configuration, the laser threshold is reached at a lower current density than in the case of a direct-electrically pumped organic laser diode while generating pulses of order 15 ns duration. With a validated model for the electrically pumped organic light-emitting diode (OLED), we simulate the generation of light pulses. This light is fed into the organic laser section, where it optically pumps the emitting organic medium. The full model includes field-enhanced Langevin recombination in the OLED, Stoke-shifted reabsorption in both the OLED and organic laser, and an optical cavity in the latter. We numerically demonstrate 2 GHz modulation and conjecture the feasibility of ~0.025 Mb/s data transmission with this device. Full article
