Abstract
The direct growth of III-V quantum dot (QD) lasers on silicon substrate has been rapidly developing over the past decade and has been recognized as a promising method for achieving on-chip light sources in photonic integrated circuits (PICs). Up to date, O- and C/L-bands InAs QD lasers on Si have been extensively investigated, but as an extended telecommunication wavelength, the E-band QD lasers directly grown on Si substrates are not available yet. Here, we demonstrate the first E-band (1365 nm) InAs QD micro-disk lasers epitaxially grown on Si (001) substrates by using a III-V/IV hybrid dual-chamber molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system. The micro-disk laser device on Si was characterized with an optical threshold power of 0.424 mW and quality factor (Q) of 1727.2 at 200 K. The results presented here indicate a path to on-chip silicon photonic telecom-transmitters.

Abstract
Herein, we report on our investigation of a fabrication scheme for self-assembled quantum dots (QDs), which is another type of Stranski–Krastanow (S–K) growth mode. The In(P)As QD structure was formed by the irradiation of As flux on an InP(311)B surface in a molecular beam epitaxy system controlled by substrate temperature and irradiation duration. These QDs show photoluminescence at around 1500 nm, which is suitable for fiber optic communication systems. The QDs formed by this structure had high As composition because they had size, density, and emission wavelength similar to those of QDs grown by the usual S–K growth mode.

Abstract
This study presents an band-alignment tailoring of a vertically aligned InAs/GaAs(Sb) quantum dot (QD) structure and the extension of the carrier lifetime therein by rapid thermal annealing (RTA). Arrhenius analysis indicates a larger activation energy and thermal stability that results from the suppression of In-Ga intermixing and preservation of the QD heterostructure in an annealed vertically aligned InAs/GaAsSb QD structure. Power-dependent and time-resolved photoluminescence were utilized to demonstrate the extended carrier lifetime from 4.7 to 9.4 ns and elucidate the mechanisms of the antimony aggregation resulting in a band-alignment tailoring from straddling to staggered gap after the RTA process. The significant extension in the carrier lifetime of the columnar InAs/GaAsSb dot structure make the great potential in improving QD intermediate-band solar cell application.

Abstract
Self-assembled quantum dots (SAQDs) grown under biaxial tension could enable novel devices by taking advantage of the strong band gap reduction induced by tensile strain. Tensile SAQDs with low optical transition energies could find application in the technologically important area of mid-infrared optoelectronics. In the case of Ge, biaxial tension can even cause a highly desirable crossover from an indirect- to a direct-gap band structure. However, the inability to grow tensile SAQDs without dislocations has impeded progress in these directions. In this article, we demonstrate a method to grow dislocation-free, tensile SAQDs by employing the unique strain relief mechanisms of (110)-oriented surfaces. As a model system, we show that tensile GaAs SAQDs form spontaneously, controllably, and without dislocations on InAlAs(110) surfaces. The tensile strain reduces the band gap in GaAs SAQDs by ~40%, leading to robust type-I quantum confinement and photoluminescence at energies lower than that of bulk GaAs. This method can be extended to other zinc blende and diamond cubic materials to form novel optoelectronic devices based on tensile SAQDs.

Abstract
Nanophotonics has been extensively studied with the aim of unveiling and exploiting light-matter interactions that occur at a scale below the diffraction limit of light, and recent progress made in experimental technologies--both in nanomaterial fabrication and characterization--is driving further advancements in the field. From the viewpoint of information, on the other hand, novel architectures, design and analysis principles, and even novel computing paradigms should be considered so that we can fully benefit from the potential of nanophotonics. This paper examines the information physics aspects of nanophotonics. More specifically, we present some fundamental and emergent information properties that stem from optical excitation transfer mediated by optical near-field interactions and the hierarchical properties inherent in optical near-fields. We theoretically and experimentally investigate aspects such as unidirectional signal transfer, energy efficiency and networking effects, among others, and we present their basic theoretical formalisms and describe demonstrations of practical applications. A stochastic analysis of light-assisted material formation is also presented, where an information-based approach provides a deeper understanding of the phenomena involved, such as self-organization. Furthermore, the spatio-temporal dynamics of optical excitation transfer and its inherent stochastic attributes are utilized for solution searching, paving the way to a novel computing paradigm that exploits coherent and dissipative processes in nanophotonics.

Abstract
We report the development of new nanophosphor structures based on the Mn-doped ZnSeS material system to enhance the color properties, luminosity and efficiency of white LEDs. These structures have been demonstrated for phosphor-based white LED applications utilizing both blue and UV LED systems. Bandgap tuning for near UV (405 nm) and blue (460 nm) excitations are reported. Using various optimization procedures, we have produced ZnSe:Mn nanoparticles with an external quantum yield greater than 80%.

Abstract
We have studied the electronic state levels of an asymmetric InAs/InGaAs/GaAs dot-in-well structure, i.e., with an In0.15Ga0.85As quantum well (QW) as capping layer above InAs quantum dots (QDs), via temperature-dependent photoluminescence, photo-modulated reflectance, and rapid thermal annealing (RTA) treatments. It is shown that the carrier transfer via wetting layer (WL) is impeded according to the results of temperature dependent peak energy and line width variation of both the ground states (GS) and excited states (ES) of QDs. The quenching of integrated intensity is ascribed to the thermal escape of electron from the dots to the complex In0.15Ga0.85As QW + InAs WL structure. Additionally, as the RTA temperature increases, the peak of PL blue shifts and the full width at half maximum shrinks. Especially, the intensity ratio of GS to ES reaches the maximum when the energy difference approaches the energy of one or two LO phonon(s) of InAs bulk material, which could be explained by phonon-enhanced inter-sublevels carrier relaxation in such asymmetric dot-in-well structure.PACS: 73.63.Kv; 73.61.Ey; 78.67.Hc; 81.16.Dn.

Abstract
We report the development of new nanoparticle phosphors and quantum dot structures designed for applications to enhance the color rendering and efficiency of high brightness white LEDs, as well as for bio-sensing applications. The intrinsic problem of self-absorption, high toxicity, and high sensitivity to thermal quenching of conventional quantum dot systems has prevented their adoption to LED devices. Doped Cd-free quantum dots may circumvent these issues due to their distinct Stokes shift and improved stability at high temperature. We report on the modification of Mn-doped ZnSe/ZnS core-shell quantum dots for application to the (blue diode + yellow emitter) white LED system. Band gap tuning for 460 nm excitation, inorganic shell growth and in-situ monitoring for enhanced efficiency, and analysis of thermal stability will are reported.

Abstract
The device fabrication and integration of nanopatterned quantum dots (PQDs) are realized through the demonstration of a broad-area light-emitting diode with PQD active region. The device involves two growth processes, first to form PQDs by selective-area epitaxy on an SiO(2) mask and then to complete the device structure after mask removal. Linear current-voltage characteristics are observed with sharp turn-on, low leakage current and low forward resistance. Electroluminescence spectra show PQD intraband structure and low quenching of emission from 77 K to room temperature. Light-current measurements demonstrate external quantum efficiency per PQD comparable to self-assembled QDs, thus providing a possible route toward individually addressable single QD devices.
