Photoluminescence Techniques Map, Measure Semiconductor Thermal Conductivity
A joint research group has developed two new optical techniques — photoluminescence mapping (PL-mapping) and time-domain thermo-photoluminescence (TDTP) — that provide rapid, nondestructive characterization of k in materials and that require minimal sample preparation.

Massive Light Emission from Nanogap Between Plasmonic Electrodes
While investigating above-threshold light emission from electromigrated tunnel junctions, researchers from Rice University and the University of Colorado Boulder discovered that an unexpectedly bright emission could emerge from a nanoscale gap between two electrodes made of plasmonic materials, particularly gold.

Beam Shaping: The Next Step for Ultrashort-Pulse-Laser-Based Processes Beam Shaping: The Next Step for Ultrashort-Pulse-Laser-Based Processes
Thu, Jul 16, 2020 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EDT
The use of ultrashort pulse (USP) lasers in industrial processes is growing, thanks to the high standard of quality that can be achieved. For widespread industrial use of USP lasers to be realized, however, two key challenges need to be solved: The yield has to strongly increase for the process to be cost-effective, and improvement in quality will lead to the processing of new materials and the development of new markets. This webinar will present how beam shaping can solve these two challenges, and how multi-plane light conversion (MPLC) can achieve yield and quality improvement while being compatible with industrial setups.
