Bidirectional Uncompressed HD Video
Distribution over Fiber Employing
VCSELs, J. Estaran, J. J. Vegas Olmos,
G. A. Rodes and I. T. Monroy, Technical
University of Denmark, Kgs Lyngby, Denmark
We report on a bidirectional system in which
VCSELs are simultaneously modulated with two
uncompressed HD video signals. The results
show a large power budget and a negligible
penalty over 10 km long transmission link.
MF1 8:30 AM - 9:00 AM (Invited)
Quantum Dots for Lasers and Light-
Emitting Diodes, N. N. Ledentsov, VI Systems
GmbH, Berlin, Germany
Self-organized quantum dots (QDs) applied to
light-emitting devices extend their spectral range,
temperature stability and allow new approaches
including single photon emitters and multiwavelength
lasers and light-emitting diodes.
MG1 8:30 AM - 9:00 AM (Invited)
Light Trapping in Plasmonic
Photovoltaics, V. Ferry, Lawrence Berkeley
National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA, USA
Plasmonic and nanophotonic structures enable
the manipulation and molding of light in
nanoscale devices. These nanostructures are
designed and integrated to achieve broadband
photocurrent enhancement in ultrathin film
photovoltaics.

Interconnects, Y. Fainman, University of
California - San Diego, La Jolla, CA, USA
ABSTRACT NOT AVAILABLE
ME2 8:45 AM - 9:00 AM
Extended Gain Bandwidth low Ripple
Hybrid Raman-Parametric Amplifier
Design for PON Applications, S. Peiris,
N. Madamopoulos, City College of New
York/CUNY, New York, NY, USA, N. Antoniades,
College of Staten Island/CUNY, Staten Island, NY,
USA, M. A. Ummy, New York City College of
Technology, New York, NY, USA, R. Dorsinville
and M. A. Ali, City College of New York/CUNY,
New York, NY, USA
A hybrid Raman-OPA amplifier with 190nm
bandwidth, and 13-fold enhancement
in a 7.5 nm thin-film absorber yielding a
maximum absorption of 74.4%. Broadband and
wide-angle absorption is demonstrated.
MH2 9:00 AM - 9:15 AM
A New Approach to Ge Lasers with Low
Pump Power, X. Chen, Y. Huo, E. Fei,
G. Shambat, K. Zang, X. Liu, Y. Chen,
T. I. Kamins, J. Vuckovic and J. S. Harris,
Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA
We present direct bandgap photoluminescence
from carrier confinement in Ge/SiGe quantum
wells (QWs) in a microdisk. Simulation and
experimental results indicate this structure has
great potential to serve as a low pump power Ge
laser.
ME4 9:15 AM - 9:30 AM
Fiber-Pigtailed Optical Switch based on
Gigantic Bloch-Surface-Wave-Induced
Goos-Hanchen Shifts, Y. Wan, W. Kong,
Z. Zheng, X. Zhao, Y. Liu and Y. Bian, Beihang
University, Beijing, China
On-off optical switching based on the Blochsurface-wave
enhanced Goos-Hanchen effect is
demonstrated for the first time by changing the
medium in a flowcell that serves as the cladding
of a truncated one-dimensional photonic crystal.
MF3 9:15 AM - 9:30 AM
Modelling the Gain Compression Effects
in Semiconductor Quantum-Dot Lasers
through a New Modulation Transfer
Function, C. Wang, F. Grillot and J. Even,
Institut National des Sciences Appliquees de
Rennes, Rennes, France
Impacts of gain compression on modulation
properties of quantum dot lasers are investigated
with a new modulation transfer function derived
from a semi-analytical approach. Results show
that non-linear gain causes severe degradations
in laser dynamics.
MG3 9:15 AM - 9:45 AM (Invited)
Plasmonics for III-V Semiconductor Solar
Cells, S. Mokkapati, H. F. Lu, S. Turner, L. Fu,
H. H. Tan and C. Jagadish, Australian National
University, Canberra, Australia
Surface plasmons supported by metal nanoparticles
can be used to enhance the performance of
solar-cells based on III-V semiconductors. We
present results on plasmonic quantum-dot solarcells
and discuss the role of plasmonics for
nanowire solar-cells.
MH3 9:15 AM - 9:30 AM
Low-Power Monolithic COMB Laser for
Short-Reach WDM Optical Interconnects,
A. E. Gubenko, S. S. Mikhrin, V. Mikhrin,
I. L. Krestnikov and D. A. Livshits, Innolume
GmbH, Dortmund, Germany
16+ low-noise optical comb lines with 80 GHz
spacing and 0 dBm/line output power are generated
by a single InAs/GaAs quantum dot (QD)
Fabry-Perot laser. Electrical power consumption
is reduced dramatically down to 6 mW/line.
