In this paper we present Inductively coupled plasma chemical vapour deposition(ICPECVD) of amorphous Silicon (a-Si:H) thin films. By tuning the ICP power, RF power and pressure tensile and conformal a-Si:H films can be obtained. Such films are of great importance for the MEMS application. We also show that the optical absorption due to Si:H and Si-H2 bond in the a-Si:H can be reduced by annealing the film at low temperature (500°C)by removing the hydrogen. The rapid and low temperature annealing ensures smooth a-Si:H films for the NIR applications in optical MEMS.

A systematic growth temperature study has been performed to achieve high quality InP nanowires (NWs) by selective-area metal-organic vapour-phase epitaxy (SA-MOVPE). The optical quality of these nanowires was evaluated from time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) at 300 K.

We report the structural and optical characterization of GaAs1-xSbx nanowires (NWs) grown on GaAs (111)B substrates using metalorganic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD). The NWs are perpendicular to the substrate with almost defect-free zinc blende (ZB) structure. Micro-photoluminescence results demonstrate high emission efficiency at around 1.3 μm from the NWs.

In this paper we present our progress towards the opto-electronic characterization of indium phosphide (InP) nanowire transistors at milli-Kelvin temperatures. First, we have investigated the electronic transport of the InP nanowires by current-voltage (I-V) spectroscopy as a function of temperature from 300 K down to 40 K. Second, we show the successful operation of a red light emitting diode (LED) at liquid-Helium temperatures to be used for opto-electronic device characterization.

Carbon ions were implanted into nickel films to facilitate growth of few-layered graphene. After vacuum annealing at 950 °C, G and 2D peaks were seen in micro-Raman measurements of the nickel film. No D peak, which is associated with sp3 adsorbates and vacancies/defects in graphene, was observed.

Single crystal Ge layers of different thickness were successfully formed on bulk SiO2 by ion implantation and oxidation techniques. Structural and compositional properties of the Ge layers were investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and Raman spectroscopy. The quality of the resulting layers was found to be a function of the layer thickness.

Dielectric metamaterials offer a potential low-loss alternative to plasmonic metamaterials at optical frequencies. However, demonstrations of dielectric metamaterials have so far been limited to microwave and mid-infrared frequencies. In this work, we outline the development of purely dielectric zero-index metamaterials operating at optical frequencies. The metamaterial, formed from silicon rods, exhibits impedance matching with air, resulting in unity transmission at the zero-index point. Design and experimental realization of the metamaterials is presented. The metamaterials can potentially be used for a number of applications including compact lens systems, directional emitters, and transformation optics devices.

We report a novel method for using a spatial light modulator (SLM) to spatially map the luminescent properties of single trapped semiconductor nanowires by dynamic optical tweezers. Being able to control the axial position of the trapping focus with respect to the excitation source, the composition along the long axis of the nanowire can be probed. We also explore the feasibility of tailoring trapping beam shape to enhance the axial trap stiffness for long nanowires (> 5 μm).
