12.	280 nm UV LEDs Grown on HVPE GaN Substrates A. Yasan, R. McClintock, K. Mayes, S.R. Darvish, P. Kung, M. Razeghi, and R.J. Molnar Opto-Electronics Review, 10 (4)-- January 1, 2002 ...[Visit Journal] We report on the enhancement of optical and electrical properties of 280 nm UV LEDs using low dislocation density HVPE-grown GaN substrate. Compared with the same structure grown on sapphire, these LEDs show ~30% reduction in current-voltage differential resistance, ~15% reduction in turn-on voltage, more than 200% increase in output power slope efficiency and saturation at higher currents. Lower density of defects due to higher material quality and better heat dissipation are believed to be the reason behind these improvements. [reprint (PDF)]
12.	Observation of Room Temperature Surface-Emitting Stimulated Emission from GaN:Ge by Optical pumping X. Zhang, P. Kung, A. Saxler, D. Walker, and M. Razeghi Journal of Applied Physics 80 (11)-- December 1, 1996 ...[Visit Journal] Optically pumped surface-emitting stimulated emission at room temperature was observed from GaN:Ge grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The sample was optically pumped perpendicularly on the top surface while the stimulated emission was collected from the back colinearly with the pump beam. The cavity was formed by the GaN/air and GaN/sapphire interfaces without any other structure. The stimulated emission was gain guided by the pump beam. The threshold optical pump density for stimulated emission was approximately 2.8 MW/cm² and the linewidth was 2.5 nm. The emission from GaN:Ge showed a redshift as the pump density increased. The comparison between theoretical calculations and experimental results suggested that many-body interactions can account well for the redshift. [reprint (PDF)]
12.	High power, continuous wave, quantum cascade ring laser Y. Bai, S. Tsao, N. Bandyopadhyay, S. Slivken, Q.Y. Lu, D. Caffey, M. Pushkarsky, T. Day and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters, Vol. 99, No. 26, p. 261104-1-- December 26, 2011 ...[Visit Journal] We demonstrate a quantum cascade ring laser with high power room temperature continuous wave operation. A second order distributed feedback grating buried inside the waveguide provides both in-plane feedback and vertical power outcoupling. Total output power reaches 0.51 W at an emission wavelength around 4.85 μm. Single mode operation persists up to 0.4 W. The far field analysis indicates that the device operates in a high order mode. The magnetic and electric components of the ring-shaped lasing beam are in radial and azimuthal directions, respectively. [reprint (PDF)]
12.	Electroluminescence at 375 nm from a Zn0/GaN:Mg/c-Al₂O₃ heterojunction light emitting diodes D.J. Rogers, F.Hosseini Teherani, A. Yasan, K. Minder, P. Kung, and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters, 88 (14)-- April 13, 2006 ...[Visit Journal] n-ZnO/p-GaN:Mg heterojunction light emitting diode (LED) mesas were fabricated on c-Al₂O₃ substrates using pulsed laser deposition for the ZnO and metal organic chemical vapor deposition for the GaN:Mg. Room temperature (RT) photoluminescence (PL) showed an intense main peak at 375 nm and a negligibly low green emission indicative of a near band edge excitonic emission from a ZnO layer with low dislocation/defect density. The LEDs showed I-V characteristics confirming a rectifying diode behavior and a RT electroluminescence (EL) peaked at about 375 nm. [reprint (PDF)]
12.	High-performance InP-based midinfrared quantum cascade lasers at Northwestern University M. Razeghi, Y. Bai, S. Slivken, and S.R. Darvish SPIE Optical Engineering, Vol. 49, No. 11, November 2010, p. 111103-1-- November 15, 2010 ...[Visit Journal] We present recent performance highlights of midinfrared quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) based on an InP material system. At a representative wavelength around 4.7 µm, a number of breakthroughs have been achieved with concentrated effort. These breakthroughs include watt-level continuous wave operation at room temperature, greater than 50% peak wall plug efficiency at low temperatures, 100-W-level pulsed mode operation at room temperature, and 10-W-level pulsed mode operation of photonic crystal distributed feedback quantum cascade lasers at room temperature. Since the QCL technology is wavelength adaptive in nature, these demonstrations promise significant room for improvement across a wide range of mid-IR wavelengths. [reprint (PDF)]
12.	Gain and recombination dynamics of quantum-dot infrared photodetecto H. Lim, B. Movaghar, S. Tsao, M. Taguchi, W. Zhang, A.A. Quivy, and M. Razeghi Virtual Journal of Nanoscale Science & Technology-- December 4, 2006 ...[Visit Journal][reprint (PDF)]
12.	Microstructural compositional, and optical characterization of GaN grown by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy on ZnO epilayers D.J. Rogers, F. Hosseini Teherani, T. Moudakir, S. Gautier, F. Jomard, M. Molinari, M. Troyon, D. McGrouther, J.N. Chapman, M. Razeghi and A. Ougazzaden Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology B, Vol. 27, No. 3, May/June, p. 1655-1657-- May 29, 2009 ...[Visit Journal] This article presents the results of microstructural, compositional, and optical characterization of GaN films grown on ZnO buffered c-sapphire substrates. Transmission electron microscopy showed epitaxy between the GaN and the ZnO, no degradation of the ZnO buffer layer, and no evidence of any interfacial compounds. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy revealed negligible Zn signal in the GaN layer away from the GaN/ZnO interface. After chemical removal of the ZnO, room temperature (RT) cathodoluminescence spectra had a single main peak centered at ~ 368 nm (~3.37 eV), which was indexed as near-band-edge (NBE) emission from the GaN layer. There was no evidence of the ZnO NBE peak, centered at ~379 nm (~3.28 eV), which had been observed in RT photoluminescence spectra prior to removal of the ZnO. [reprint (PDF)]
12.	QEPAS based ppb-level detection of CO and N₂O using a high power CW DFB-QCL Y. Ma, R. Lewicki, M. Razeghi and F. Tittel Optics Express, Vol. 21, No. 1, p. 1008-- January 14, 2013 ...[Visit Journal] An ultra-sensitive and selective quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (QEPAS) sensor platform was demonstrated for detection of carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrous oxide (N₂O). This sensor used a stateof-the art 4.61 μm high power, continuous wave (CW), distributed feedback quantum cascade laser (DFB-QCL) operating at 10°C as the excitation source. For the R(6) CO absorption line, located at 2169.2 cm⁻¹, a minimum detection limit (MDL) of 1.5 parts per billion by volume (ppbv) at atmospheric pressure was achieved with a 1 sec acquisition time and the addition of 2.6% water vapor concentration in the analyzed gas mixture. For the N₂O detection, a MDL of 23 ppbv was obtained at an optimum gas pressure of 100 Torr and with the same water vapor content of 2.6%. In both cases the presence of water vapor increases the detected CO and N₂O QEPAS signal levels as a result of enhancing the vibrational-translational relaxation rate of both target gases. Allan deviation analyses were performed to investigate the long term performance of the CO and N2O QEPAS sensor systems. For the optimum data acquisition time of 500 sec a MDL of 340 pptv and 4 ppbv was obtained for CO and N₂O detection,respectively. To demonstrate reliable and robust operation of the QEPAS sensor a continuous monitoring of atmospheric CO and N₂O concentration levels for a period of 5 hours were performed. [reprint (PDF)]
12.	Neutron Activation Analysis of an Iranian Cigarette and its Smoke Z. Abedinzadeh, M. Razeghi and B. Parsa Z. Abedinzadeh, M. Razeghi and B. Parsa, Journal of Radioanalytical Chemistry, VoL 35 [1977) 373-376-- September 1, 1977 ...[Visit Journal] Non-destructive neutron activation analysis, employing a high-resolution Ge(Li) detector, was applied to determine the concentration of 24 trace elements in the tobacco of the Zarrin cigarette which is commercially made in Iran. These elements are: Na, K, Sc, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Zn, Se, Br, Rb, Ag, Sb, Cs, Ba, La, Ce, Sm, Eu, Tb, Hf, Au, Hg and Th. The smokes from the combustion of this tobacco and of the cigarette paper were also analysed for these elements and the percentage transference values were calculated. [reprint (PDF)]
12.	RT-CW: widely tunable semiconductor THz QCL sources M. Razeghi; Q. Y. Lu Proceedings Volume 9934, Terahertz Emitters, Receivers, and Applications -- September 26, 2016 ...[Visit Journal] Distinctive position of Terahertz (THz) frequencies (ν~0.3 -10 THz) in the electromagnetic spectrum with their lower quantum energy compared to IR and higher frequency compared to microwave range allows for many potential applications unique to them. Especially in the security side of the THz sensing applications, the distinct absorption spectra of explosives and related compounds in the range of 0.1–5 THz makes THz technology a competitive technique for detecting hidden explosives. A compact, high power, room temperature continuous wave terahertz source emitting in a wide frequency range will greatly boost the THz applications for the diagnosis and detection of explosives. Here we present a new strong-coupled strain-balanced quantum cascade laser design for efficient THz generation based intracavity DFG. Room temperature continuous wave operation with electrical frequency tuning range of 2.06-4.35 THz is demonstrated [reprint (PDF)]
12.	The quantum Hall effect in modulation doped In0.53Ga0.47As-InP heterojunctions Y. Guldner, J.P. Hirtz, J.P. Vieren, P. Voisin, M. Voos, M. Razeghi Journal de Physique Lettres, 43 (16), pp.613-616 (1982)-- November 30, 1999 ...[Visit Journal] We report the first observation of the quantum Hall effect in modulation doped In0.53Ga0.47As-InP heterojunctions at 4.2 and 1.5 K. The results are then compared to data obtained in a GaAs-AlxGa1-xAs heterojunction having similar electronic characteristics. [reprint (PDF)]
12.	Broadband monolithically-tunable quantum cascade lasers Wenjia Zhou, Ryan McClintock, Donghai Wu, Steven Slivken, Manijeh Razeghi Proc. SPIE 10540, Quantum Sensing and Nano Electronics and Photonics XV, 105400A-- January 26, 2018 ...[Visit Journal] Mid-infrared lasers, emitting in the spectral region of 3-12 μm that contain strong characteristic vibrational transitions of many important molecules, are highly desirable for spectroscopy sensing applications. High efficiency quantum cascade lasers have been demonstrated with up to watt-level output power in the mid-infrared region. However, the wide wavelength tuning, which is critical for spectroscopy applications, is still largely relying on incorporating external gratings, which have stability issues. Here, we demonstrate the development a monolithic, widely tunable quantum cascade laser source emitting between 6.1 and 9.2 μm through an on-chip integration of a sampled grating distributed feedback tunable laser array with a beam combiner. A compact tunable laser system was built to drive the individual lasers within the array and coordinate the driving of the laser array to produce desired wavelength. A broadband spectral measurement (520cm^-1) of methane shows excellent agreement with Fourier transform infrared spectrometer measurement. Further optimizations have led to high performance monolithic tunable QCLs with up to 65 mW output while delivering fundamental mode outputs. [reprint (PDF)]
12.	Thermal analysis of buried heterostructure quantum cascade lasers for long-wavelength infrared emission using 2D anisotropic heat-dissipation model H.K. Lee, K.S. Chung, J.S. Yu and M. Razeghi Physica Status Solidi (a), Vol. 206, p. 356-362-- February 1, 2009 ...[Visit Journal] We have theoretically investigated and compared the thermal characteristics of 10.6 μm InGaAs/InAlAs/InP buried heterostructure (BH) quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) with different heat-sinking configurations by a steady-state heat-transfer analysis. The heat-source densities were obtained from laser threshold power densities measured experimentally under room-temperature continuous-wave mode. The two-dimensional anisotropic heat-dissipation model was used to calculate the temperature distribution, heat flux, and thermal conductance (Gth) inside the device. For good thermal characteristics, the QCLs in the long-wavelength infrared region require the relatively narrow BH structure in combination with epilayer-down bonding due to thick active core/cladding layers and high insulator losses. The single-ridge BH structure results in slightly higher thermal conductance by 2-4% than the double-channel (DC) ridge BH structure. For W = 12 m with 5 μm thick electroplated Au, the single-ridge BH laser with epilayer-down bonding exhibited the highest G_th value of 201.9 W/K cm², i.e. increased by nearly 36% with respect to the epilayer-up bonded DC ridge waveguide laser. This value is improved by 50% and 62% with respect to the single-ridge BH laser and DC ridge waveguide laser with W = 20 μm in the epilayer-up bonding scheme, respectively. [reprint (PDF)]
12.	Top-emission ultraviolet light-emitting diodes with peak emission at 280 nm A. Yasan, R. McClintock, K. Mayes, S.R. Darvish, P. Kung, and M. Razeghi Virtual Journal of Nanoscale Science & Technology, 5-- August 5, 2002 ...[Visit Journal][reprint (PDF)]
12.	InAsSbP/InAsSb/InAs Diode Lasers Emitting at 3.2 μm Grown by Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition D. Wu, E. Kaas, J. Diaz, B. Lane, A. Rybaltowski, H.J. Yi, and M. Razeghi IEEE Photonics Technology Letters 9 (2)-- February 1, 1997 ...[Visit Journal] InAsSb-InAsSbP double heterostructure diode lasers have been grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition on (100) InAs substrates. High-output powers of 660 mW in pulse mode and 300 mW in continuous wave operation with 400-μm cavity length and 100-μm-wide aperture at 78 K have been obtained. These devices showed low threshold current density of 40 A/cm2, low internal loss of 3.0 cm/sup -1/, far-field /spl theta//sub /spl perp// of 34/spl deg/ with differential efficiency of 90% at 78 K, and high operating temperatures of 220 K.

12.	Spatial Noise and Correctability of Type-II InAs/GaSb Focal Plane Arrays P.Y. Delaunay and M. Razeghi IEEE Journal of Quanutm Electronics, April 2010, Vol. 46, No. 4, p. 584-588-- April 1, 2010 ...[Visit Journal] A long wavelength infrared focal plane array based on Type-II InAs/GaSb superlattices was fabricated and characterized at 80 K. The noise equivalent temperature difference of the array was measured as low as 23 mK (f# = 2), for an integration time of 0.129 ms. The spatial noise of the array was dominated by the nonuniformity of the illumination through the circular aperture. A standard two-point nonuniformity correction improved the inhomogeneity equivalent temperature difference to 16 mK. The correctability just after calibration was 0.6. The long-term stability time was superior to 25 hours. [reprint (PDF)]
12.	High-temperature high-power continuous-wave operation of buried heterostructure quantum-cascade lasers A. Evans, J.S. Yu, J. David, L. Doris, K. Mi, S. Slivken, and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters, 84 (3)-- January 19, 2004 ...[Visit Journal] We report cw operation of buried heterostructure quantum-cascade lasers (λ=6 µm) using a thick electroplated Au top contact layer and epilayer-up bonding on a copper heat sink up to a temperature of 333 K (60 °C). The high cw optical output powers of 446 mW at 293 K, 372 mW at 298 K, and 30 mW at 333 K are achieved with threshold current densities of 2.19, 2.35, and 4.29 kA/cm² respectively, for a high-reflectivity-coated, 9-µm-wide and 3-mm-long laser [reprint (PDF)]
12.	EPR Investigations of a Structural Phase Change in Lead Phosphate M. RAZEGHI M. RAZEGHI: EPR Investigations of a Structural Phase Change phys. stat. sol. (b) 108, 175 (1981)-- November 1, 1981 ...[Visit Journal] The temperature dependence of the EPR line width of the Mn2+ and Gd3+ in Pb3(PO4)2 is investigated from -270 to 500 °C. At the first-order ferroelastic transition point (180 °C), an abrupt change in the fine-structure splitting as well as in the resonance line width is observed. Various contributions to fine structure D and E parameters of Mn2+ and Gd3+ are computed, using a point-multipole model. For temperatures near to Tc the correlation time of the fluctuations is estimated to be greater than 10−9. [reprint (PDF)]
12.	Demonstration of mid-infrared type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodiodes grown on GaAs substrate B.M. Nguyen, D. Hoffman, E.K. Huang, S. Bogdanov, P.Y. Delaunay, M. Razeghi and M.Z. Tidrow Applied Physics Letters, Vol. 94, No. 22-- June 8, 2009 ...[Visit Journal] We report the growth and characterization of type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodiodes grown on a GaAs substrate. Through a low nucleation temperature and a reduced growth rate, a smooth GaSb surface was obtained on the GaAs substrate with clear atomic steps and low roughness morphology. On the top of the GaSb buffer, a p⁺-i-n⁺ type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodiode was grown with a designed cutoff wavelength of 4 μm. The detector exhibited a differential resistance at zero bias (R₀A)in excess of 1600 Ω·cm² and a quantum efficiency of 36.4% at 77 K, providing a specific detectivity of 6 X 10¹¹ cm·Hz^½/W and a background limited operating temperature of 100 K with a 300 K background. Uncooled detectors showed similar performance to those grown on GaSb substrates with a carrier lifetime of 110 ns and a detectivity of 6 X 10⁸ cm·Hz^½/W. [reprint (PDF)]
12.	Demonstration of a 256x256 Middle-Wavelength Infrared Focal Plane Array based on InGaAs/InGaP Quantum Dot Infrared Photodetectors (QDIPs) J. Jiang, K. Mi, S. Tsao, W. Zhang, H. Lim, T.O'Sullivan, T. Sills, M. Razeghi, G.J. Brown, and M.Z. Tidrow Applied Physics Letters, 84 (13)-- April 29, 2004 ...[Visit Journal] We report a demonstration of an infrared focal plane array based on InGaAs/InGaP quantum dot infrared photodetectors. The middle-wavelength infrared quantum-dot infrared photodetector (QDIP) structure was grown via low-pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition. A detectivity of 3.6×10¹⁰ cm·Hz^½/W was achieved at T = 95 K and a bias of –1.4 V. The background limited temperature of our QDIP was 140 K with a 45° field of view. A 256×256 detector array was fabricated with dry etching, and hybridized to a Litton readout chip by indium bumps. Thermal imaging was achieved at temperatures up to 120 K. At T = 77 K, the noise equivalent temperature difference was measured as 0.509 K with a 300 K background and f/2.3 optics. [reprint (PDF)]
12.	Schottky barrier heights and conduction-band offsets of In_1-xGa_xAs_1-yP_y lattice matched to GaAs J.K. Lee, Y.H. Cho, B.D. Choe, K.S. Kim, H.I. Jeon, H. Lim and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters 71 (7)-- August 18, 1997 ...[Visit Journal] The Schottky barrier heights of Au/In_1−xGa_xAs_1−yP_y contacts have been determined as a function of y by the capacitance–voltage and temperature dependent current–voltage characteristics measurements. The barrier height is observed to increase as y is increased for both n- and p-type materials, with a more rapid increase for the p-type material. The compositional variation of the barrier heights for Au/n-In_1−xGa_xAs_1−yP_y is found to be identical to that of the conduction-band offsets in In_1−xGa_xAs_1−yP_y/GaAs heterojunctions. A possible cause of this phenomenon is also discussed. [reprint (PDF)]
12.	Characterization of ZnO thin films grown on c-sapphire by pulsed laser deposition as templates for regrowth of zno by metal organic chemical vapor deposition D. J. Rogers ; F.

SPIE 7217, Zinc Oxide Materials and Devices IV, 72170F (February 17, 2009)-- February 17, 2009 ...[Visit Journal] The use of ZnO template layers grown Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) has been seen to produce dramatic improvements in the surface morphology, crystallographic quality and optical properties of ZnO layers grown on c-sapphire substrates by Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition. This paper provides complementary details on the PLD-grown ZnO template properties. [reprint (PDF)]
12.	Energy harvesting from millimetric ZnO single wire piezo-generators Rogers, D. J.; Carroll, C.; Bove, P.; Sandana, V. E.; Goubert, L.; Largeteau, A.; Teherani, F. Hosseini; Demazeau, G.; McClintock, R.; Drouhin, H.-J.; Razeghi, M. Oxide-based Materials and Devices III. Edited by Teherani, Ferechteh H.; Look, David C.; Rogers, David J. Proceedings of the SPIE, Volume 8263, article id. 82631X, 7 pp. (2012).-- February 9, 2013 ...[Visit Journal] This work reports on investigations into the possibility of harvesting energy from the piezoelectric response of millimetric ZnO rods to movement. SEM & PL studies of hydrothermally grown ZnO rods revealed sizes ranging from 1 - 3 mm x 100 - 400 microns and suggested that each was a wurtzite monocrystal. Studies of current & voltage responses as a function of time during bending with a probe arm gave responses coherent with those reported elsewhere in the literature for ZnO nanowires or micro-rod single wire generators. The larger scale of these rods provided some advantages over such nano- and microstructures in terms of contacting ease, signal level & robustness. [reprint (PDF)]
12.	Noise analysis in type-II InAs/GaSb focal plane arrays P.Y. Delaunay and M. Razeghi Journal of Applied Physics, Vol. 106, Issue 6, p. 063110-- September 15, 2009 ...[Visit Journal] A long wavelength infrared focal plane array based on type-II InAs/GaSb superlattices was fabricated and characterized at 80 K. The noise equivalent temperature difference in the array was measured as low as 23 mK for an integration time of 0.129 ms. The noise behavior of the detectors was properly described by a model based on thermal, shot, read out integrated circuit, and photon noises. The noise of the imager was dominated by photon noise for photon fluxes higher than 1.8×10¹⁵ ph·s⁻¹·cm⁻². At lower irradiance, the imager was limited by the shot noise generated by the dark current or the noise of the testing system. The superlattice detector did not create 1/f noise for frequencies above 4 mHz. As a result, the focal plane array did not require frequent calibrations. [reprint (PDF)]
12.	Comparison of chemical and laser lift-off for the transfer of InGaN-based p-i-n junctions from sapphire to glass substrates D. J. Rogers ; P. Bove ; F. Hosseini Teherani ; K. Pantzas ; T. Moudakir ; G. Orsal ; G. Patriarche ; S. Gautier ; A. Ougazzaden ; V. E. Sandana ; R. McClintock ; M. Razeghi Proc. SPIE 8626, Oxide-based Materials and Devices IV, 862611 (March 18, 2013)-- March 18, 2013 ...[Visit Journal] InGaN-based p-i-n structures were transferred from sapphire to soda-lime glass substrates using two approaches: (1) laser-lift-off (LLO) and thermo-metallic bonding and (2) chemical lift-off (LLO) by means sacrificial ZnO templates and direct wafer bonding. Both processes were found to function at RT and allow reclaim of the expensive single crystal substrate. Both approaches have also already been demonstrated to work for the wafer-scale transfer of III/V semiconductors. Compared with the industry-standard LLO, the CLO offers the added advantages of a lattice match to InGaN with higher indium contents, no need for an interfacial adhesive layer (which facilitates electrical, optical and thermal coupling), no damaged/contaminated GaN surface layer, simplified sapphire reclaim (GaN residue after LLO may complicate reclaim) and cost savings linked to elimination of the expensive LLO process.
