Silicon nanocrystals, photonic structures and optical gain

Seminar Thursday, 06/02/2014 15:00 - 15:30

Speakers: Lukáš Ondič (Department of Thin Films and Nanostructures, Institute of Physics, CAS)
Place: Cukrovarnická 10, building A, library, 1st floor
Presented in English
Organisers: Department of Thin Films and Nanostructures

In this talk, which is a public rehearsal of my PhD defense, I will present the main results of my doctoral work. First, I will discuss the origin of a fast blue-green luminescence band in silicon nanocrystals which was investigated by means of time-resolved spectroscopy at low helium temperatures. Second, I will give a brief introduction to the phenomenon of light extraction employing leaky modes of photonic crystals. Third, results of light extraction enhancement from two-dimensional photonic crystals prepared on a nanocrystalline diamond layer and on a silica layer with embedded silicon nanocrystals will be discussed.
