We find an intriguing regime of simultaneous emission of two power trains of superradiant pulses and soliton-like pulses in a class C laser with a low-Q combined cavity that supports two broadband superradiant modes and many quasi-monochromatic self-locked modes under the condition of double resonance when (i) the latter modes have an intermode spacing two times less than a frequency spacing between the superradiant modes and (ii) a pulse-repetition interval in an oscillogram of each superradiant mode is multiple of a pulse-repetition cycle of the self-mode-locking solitons, i.e., a cavity round-trip period.

Cervical cancer continues to be a significant global health burden as one of the most frequently diagnosed and fatal cancers, ranking fourth in both categories globally in 2020 [1]. Although there is an effective vaccine which will hopefully reduce the future burden of cervical cancers, there remains a need for screening programs as early detection and treatment drastically improves patient outcomes.

We report a compact 10-tip inverse tapered edge coupler design for silicon photonics integrated circuits that has a coupling efficiency of -0.72 dB at 1310 nm and -1.12 dB at 1550 nm considering a TE-polarized 3 $mu mathrm{m}$ MFD source. 3D-FDTD simulations show that the design exhibit a 1-dB bandwidth of more than 400 nm for both TE and TM modes with polarization-dependent loss less than 0.4 dB and 1-dB horizontal misalignment tolerance of 2.35 $mu mathrm{m}$.

We report on temperature-dependent photoluminescence properties of a single $mathbf{In} mathbf{A s}_{mathbf{x}} mathbf{P}_{1-mathbf{x}} / mathbf{In} mathbf{A s} mathbf{y} mathbf{P}_{1-mathbf{y}}$ quantum dot-in-a-rod (DROD) nanowire emitting at 1310 nm. We will discuss the variation of the emission intensity, linewidth, peak energy and decay time of the exciton peak as a function of the temperature in the 4 - 120 K range. Strong emission from the DROD nanowire at 300 K is also observed. A relative quantum yield of about 61 % is measured at room temperature.

Carrier dynamics is fundamental in the optimal performance of optoelectronic devices. TAS experiments can be used to study carrier dynamics at a particular wavelength. However, the $Delta alpha$ kinetics in QCSE-exhibiting materials turns out to be only approximate. This paper proposes a more accurate method to determine carrier dynamics.
