We experimentally investigate the coupling of spontaneous emission from monolayer tungsten diselenide to resonant plasmonic nanoantennas at cryogenic temperatures. The low temperature conditions enable preserved chiral polarization states of the spontaneous emission with a valley-selective handedness. By back-focal plane imaging of the scattered spontaneous emission we demonstrate a valley-selective directional emission pattern.

A diode-pumped mode-locked Yb:CALGO laser operating at 26.9 MHz repetition rate was demonstrated using a telescopic configuration. Without any external pulse compression, a pulse width of 91 fs was obtained directly at the oscillator output with 750 mW of output power. The corresponding pulse energy was 27.9 nJ and the peak power reached 306 kW.

The complex refractive index of a range of soft glasses was determined via THz-TDS and FTIR spectroscopy in an ultrawide band of ca. 0.1 THz - 200 THz. An investigation into the relationship between the dielectric and other physical glass properties was also carried out.

Indium Tin Oxide has been shown to exhibit strong optical nonlinearities in the near-infrared arising from the non-parabolicity of its conduction band. We implement a self-consistent model for this nonlinearity using FDTD and verify it with the previously published experimental data.

Non-radiative defects play a major detrimental role by escalating SRH recombination in InGaN LEDs, especially with high Indium composition. Saturation of the defects with injected carriers is well known for various materials. However, this phenomenon is not studied widely for LEDs. This paper highlights some of the pioneering experimental and theoretical advancements toward understanding the concept that not all defects in LEDs participate in SRH recombination, instead part of them get saturated with carriers.
