    Single-photon emission from isolated monolayer islands of InGaN
    (London : Nature Publishing Group, 2020) Sun, Xiaoxiao; Wang, Ping; Wang, Tao; Chen, Ling; Chen, Zhaoying; Gao, Kang; Aoki, Tomoyuki; Li, Mo; Zhang, Jian; Schulz, Tobias; Albrecht, Martin; Ge, Weikun; Arakawa, Yasuhiko; Shen, Bo; Holmes, Mark; Wang, Xinqiang
    We identify and characterize a novel type of quantum emitter formed from InGaN monolayer islands grown using molecular beam epitaxy and further isolated via the fabrication of an array of nanopillar structures. Detailed optical analysis of the characteristic emission spectrum from the monolayer islands is performed, and the main transmission is shown to act as a bright, stable, and fast single-photon emitter with a wavelength of ~400 nm. © 2020, The Author(s).

    SESAM mode-locked Tm:Y2O3 ceramic laser
    (Washington, DC : Soc., 2022) Zhang, Ning; Liu, Shande; Wang, Zhanxin; Liu, Jian; Xu, Xiaodong; Xu, Jun; Wang, Jun; Liu, Peng; Ma, Jie; Shen, Deyuan; Tang, Dingyuan; Lin, Hui; Zhang, Jian; Chen, Weidong; Zhao, Yongguang; Griebner, Uwe; Petrov, Valentin
    We demonstrate a widely tunable and passively mode-locked Tm:Y2O3 ceramic laser in-band pumped by a 1627-nm Raman fiber laser. A tuning range of 318 nm, from 1833 to 2151 nm, is obtained in the continuous-wave regime. The SESAM mode-locked laser produces Fourier-transform-limited pulses as short as 75 fs at ∼ 2.06 µm with an average output power of 0.26 W at 86.3 MHz. For longer pulse durations of 178 fs, an average power of 0.59 W is achieved with a laser efficiency of 29%. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the first mode-locked Tm:Y2O3 laser in the femtosecond regime. The spectroscopic properties and laser performance confirm that Tm:Y2O3 transparent ceramics are a promising gain material for ultrafast lasers at 2 µm.
