Subwavelength electromagnetic diode: one-way response of cascading nonlinear meta-atoms

Significant Light Extraction and Power Efficiency Enhancement of Organic Light Emitting Diodes by Subwavelength Dielectric-Nanomesh Using Large-area Nanoimprint

To improve the power efficiency of light emitting diodes (OLEDs), we developed a novel OLED structure, termed Dielectric-Nanomesh OLED (DNM-OLED), fabricated by large-area nanoimprint lithography (NIL). A dielectric-nanomesh substrate with a subwavelength nanomesh grating patterned into glass releases the photons trapped in ITO and organic layers by guided modes into leaky modes. And the dielectric-nanomesh substrate modifies the entire OLED layers into a corrugated configuration, which further lowers the parasitic resistance and hence the operating voltage. For a red phosphorescent OLED in ou…

Spasers, VCSELs, and Surface plasmon emitting diodes (SPED): their unique features and figures of merit

We compare fundamental characteristics of proposed electrically pumped subwavelength plasmonic lasers (spasers) with ubiquitous all-dielectric semiconductor micro-lasers (VCSEL) and indicate their close similarities as well as large differences in performance (threshold, efficiency, coherence and speed). These results should assist researchers in making informed choice of the emitter for each particular opto-electronic application.

Electronic control of extraordinary terahertz transmission through subwavelength metal hole arrays

We describe the electronic control of extraordinary terahertz transmission through subwavelength metal hole arrays fabricated on doped semiconductor substrates. The hybrid metal-semiconductor forms a Schottky diode structure, where the active depletion region modifies the substrate conductivity in real-time by applying an external voltage bias. This enables effective control of the resonance enhanced terahertz transmission. Our proof of principle device achieves an intensity modulation depth of 52% by changing the voltage bias between 0 and 16 volts. Further optimization may result in improvem…
