Recently, rolled-up semiconductor tubes, formed when a coherently strained semiconductor bilayer is selectively released from the host substrate, have emerged as a promising technique to realize high performance optical micro and nanocavity devices [1–6]. Combining the advantages of both top-down and bottom-up fabrication processes, this approach offers an exceptional flexibility for achieving semiconductor micro- and nanotube structures with an epitaxially smooth surface and well controlled diameters and wall thicknesses using a single photolithography step. However, lasing in such tube structures has hitherto not been demonstrated. In this context, we have performed a detailed investigation of the fabrication and characterization of rolled-up micro- and nanotubes, with the incorporation of self-organized InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots as the gain media. We have achieved, for the first time, lasing in rolled-up semiconductor tubes at room temperature. The devices are characterized an ultralow threshold power (~ 4 μW), an intrinsic lasing linewidth of ~ 0.2–0.3 nm, and a linear polarization with the electric field parallel to the tube surface.

A multi-angle lensfree holographic imaging platform capable of resolving the depth location of cells or microparticles on a chip, with an accuracy much greater than that allowed by the detection numerical aperture is presented. This multi-angle holographic imaging approach could be especially useful for improving the throughput of on-chip imaging and characterization of cells within microfluidic systems.

We considered the net modal gain and the confinement factors for semiconductor gain and metal loss in a metal-semiconductor-metal waveguide. We found that these confinement factors can have extraordinarily large values and can be gain-dependent and strongly enhanced by pumping in the semiconductor.

We present a design methodology for optimized highly dispersive photonic crystal waveguide delay lines. The results indicate that higher group-indices lower the total propagation loss as long as perturbative backscattering is the dominant loss mechanism.

Development and application of real-time (> 5Hz) first-surface and bulk reflection measurements using the mini-Z THz Time-Domain-Spectrometer (TDS) are presented for standoff detection and identification of organic, pharmaceutical and energetic compounds. A non-iterative baseline correction for scattering is applied to real-time data to expand THz sensing across a wider range of sample preparation techniques, including pressed pellets, powders and other irregular surface geometries. Performance is assessed using selected samples of organic, pharmaceutical and energetic compounds with absorption peak positions in the 0.1–3.5 THz range, with results >99% confidence without the use of HDPE sample references using standard correlation and partial-least-squares (PLS) techniques. The current state of THz Air Photonics, where selected gases are used as both THz emitter and detector, and how it relates to real-time identification will also be presented.

We demonstrate superresolved, wide-field, reflectance imaging using synthetic-aperture Fourier holography. By applying a correlation scheme applicable to scattering samples, we show coherent synthesis of large numbers of holograms into reflectance images of, for the first time, tissue sections.
