We report enhanced amplified-spontaneous-emission from CdSe/ZnS quantum-dots in an all-dielectric Si3N4/SiO2 microcavity. Directional emission is observed through the cavity mode. Enhancement is confirmed with time-resolved and steady-state photoluminescence measurements showing a Purcell factor of ~1.3.

We propose a simple and efficient off-chip coupler for vertical coupling between optical fibers and InP-based slab waveguides. Etching angle of the waveguide edge is controlled by an etching jig made of SiO2-coated aluminum for ICP-RIE. Simulation shows that maximum 71% coupling efficiency would be obtained by matrix expansion methods.

Silicon nanowires were grown on glass and steel substrates and investigated with Raman spectroscopy. It is shown that the Raman shift is mainly due to local heating of the nanowires.

Electrostatically actuated torsional micromirror fabricated using MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) technology is a fundamental building block for many optical network applications, such as optical wavelength-selective switch, configurable optical add-drop multiplexers and optical cross-connects. A two-dimensional (2D) micro-mirror functioning with a flexible secondary tilting offers tremendous value for the network designers. Commonly, electrostatic MEMS micromirrors have been designed with a gimbal surrounding the mirror plate and four square electrodes underneath. The main disadvantage of this type of design is the X-Y tilts are extensively coupled, which makes design of a control system difficult. In this work, design and control of an electrostatically actuated 2D MEMS micromirror has been reported. Triangular shaped electrodes have been used to achieve relative decoupling and a multi-loop proportional, integral and derivative (PID) controller is designed. The simulation results show that decoupling for small tilting angles has been achieved and that the controller can achieve a larger controllable tilting angle than the pull-in angle resulting in significantly enhanced device performance and functionality.
