RESUMEN
A novel, to the best of our knowledge, structure for spectral beam combining (SBC) is proposed, utilizing a polarization-separated feedback (PSF). A polarization separation element is introduced to separate the laser beam into a TE-polarized light and a TM-polarized light. The lower-power light is selected as the external feedback to adjust the resonant wavelength, while the other light is combined spectrally. Compared to the conventional SBC source with a similar feedback, the power and efficiency of the PSFSBC are improved by approximately 20%. Additionally, the beam quality in the non-SBC direction is optimized by 10%, and the power on the output coupler is reduced to nearly one-third. This provides an effective method for achieving an optimized SBC performance.
RESUMEN
Cu(i)-Catalyzed diastereoselective carboboration of α-alkyl-substituted α,ß-unsaturated carboxylic esters to produce ß-boryl-α-quaternary carbon esters was developed. The carbon skeletons of dialkyl sulfates, primary allyl halides, and benzyl bromides were transferred to the α-position of the substrates to provide products in moderate to good yields with a diastereoselectivity of >95% in most cases. Substrates bearing a ß-(hetero)aryl substituent gave higher diastereoselectivities than those bearing a linear ß-alkyl substituent. The crystal structure of the potassium trifluoroborate derivative shows that the reactions probably go through a copper(i) enolate intermediate and the diastereoselectivity arises from the electrophilic attack of electrophiles to the less hindered side of the enolates.
RESUMEN
Developing integrable, nanoscale, and low-energy-consumption lasers is a crucial step toward on-chip optical communications and computing technologies. The strong exciton-photon interaction that emerged in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) holds promise for engineering and integration. Herein, we prepare the MoSe2/microsphere cavities excitonic lasers by placing SiO2 microspheres on top of a monolayer MoSe2 film. By virtue of continuous-wave exciting MoSe2/microsphere whispering gallery mode (WGM) cavities, we realize multiple excitonic WGM lasing in the emission wavelength range of â¼750-875 nm at room temperature with tunable properties of free spectral range (FSR) and full width at half-maximum (fwhm) by varying the microsphere size. Theoretical calculations based on the finite element method (FEM) using COMSOL software were utilized to identify lasing modes and reveal the corresponding electric field distribution. These findings help to deepen fundamental understanding of excitonic WGM lasing and provide a promising research platform for integrable, scalable, and low-cost laser devices.
RESUMEN
Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are promising materials for optoelectronic devices. Their lattice and electronic structural evolutions under high strain conditions and their relations remain open questions. We exert pressure on WS2 monolayers on different substrates, namely, Si/SiO2 substrate and diamond anvil surface up to â¼25 GPa. Structural distortions in various degree are disclosed based on the emergence of Raman-inactive B mode. Splits of out-of-plane B and A1' modes are only observed on Si/SiO2 substrate due to extra strain imported from volume decrease in Si and corrugation of SiO2 surface, and its photoluminescence (PL) quenches quickly because of decreased K-K transition by conspicuous distortion of Brillouin zone. While diamond anvil surface provides better hydrostatic environment, combined analysis of PL and absorption proves that pressure effectively tunes PL emission energy and enhances Coulomb interactions. Knowledge of these distinct pressure tunable characteristics of monolayer WS2 improves further understanding of structural and optical properties of TMDs.
RESUMEN
Tailoring the excitonic properties in two-dimensional monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) through strain engineering is an effective means to explore their potential applications in optoelectronics and nanoelectronics. Here we report pressure-tuned photon emission of trions and excitons in monolayer MoSe2 via a diamond anvil cell (DAC) through photoluminescence measurements and theoretical calculations. Under quasi-hydrostatic compressive strain, our results show neutral (X0) and charged (X-) exciton emission of monolayer MoSe2 can be effectively tuned by alcohol mixture vs inert argon pressure transmitting media (PTM). During this process, X- emission undergoes a continuous blue shift until reaching saturation, while X0 emission turns up splitting. The pressure-dependent charging effect observed in alcohol mixture PTM results in the increase of the X- exciton component and facilitates the pressure-tuned emission of X- excitons. This substantial tunability of X- and X0 excitons in MoSe2 can be extended to other 2D TMDs, which holds potential for developing strained and optical sensing devices.
