We demonstrate arbitrary helicity control of circularly polarized light (CPL) emitted at room temperature from the cleaved side-facet of a lateral-type spin-polarized light-emitting diode (spin-LED) with two ferromagnetic electrodes in an anti-parallel magnetization configuration. Driving alternate currents through the two electrodes results in polarization switching of CPL with frequencies up to 100 kHz. Furthermore, tuning the current density ratio in the two electrodes enables manipulation of the degree of circular polarization. These results demonstrate arbitrary electrical control of polarization with high speed, which is required for the practical use of lateral-type spin-LEDs as monolithic CPL light sources.

We report the room-temperature electroluminescence (EL) with nearly pure circular polarization (CP) from GaAs-based spin-polarized light-emitting diodes (spin-LEDs). External magnetic fields are not used during device operation. There are two small s chemes in the tested spin-LEDs: firstly, the stripe-laser-like structure that helps intensifying the EL light at the cleaved side walls below the spin injector Fe slab, and secondly, the crystalline AlOx spin tunnel barrier that ensures electrically stable device operation. The purity of CP is depressively low in the low current density (J) region, whereas it increases steeply and reaches close to the pure CP when J = 100 A/cm2. There, either right- or left-handed CP component is significantly suppressed depending on the direction of magnetization of the spin injector. Spin-dependent re-absorption, spin-induced birefringence and optical spin-axis conversion are suggested to account for the observed experimental results.
The circular polarization of light scattered by biological tissues provides valuable information and has been considered as a powerful tool for the diagnosis of tumor tissue. We propose a non-staining, non-invasive and in-vivo cancer diagnosis techni que using an endoscope equipped with circularly polarized light-emitting diodes (spin-LEDs). We studied the scattering process of the circularly polarized light against cell nuclei in pseudo-healthy and cancerous tissues using the existing Monte Carlo method. The calculation results indicate that the resultant circular polarizations of light scattered in pseudo tissues shows clear difference in a wide range of detection angle, and the sampling depth depends on those detection angles. The structure of the endoscope probe comprising spin-LEDs is designed based on the calculation results, providing structural and depth information regarding biological tissues simultaneously.
Spin-spin interactions in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) are important because radiative recombination is largely determined by triplet-to-singlet conversion, also called reverse intersy stem crossing (RISC). Less obvious is the fact that the non-emissive triplet states are spin-polarized, e.g., by charge injection, and spin-selection rules prevent part of the triplet population from RISC. To explore the relationship between these two processes, we apply a two-frequency spin-resonance technique, which is essentially spectral hole burning, that directly probes electroluminescence. This allows us not only to independently confirm high spin-polarization, but also to distinguish between individual triplet exciplex states distributed in the OLED emissive layer. These states can be decoupled from the heterogeneous nuclear environment as a source of spin dephasing and can even be coherently manipulated on a spin-spin relaxation time scale T2* of 30 ns. Furthermore, we obtain the characteristic spin-lattice relaxation time T1 of the triplet exciplex in the range of 50 us, which is longer than the RISC time. We conclude that long spin relaxation time rather than RISC is an efficiency-limiting step for intermolecular donor:acceptor systems. Finding TADF emitters with faster spin relaxation will benefit this type of TADF OLEDs.
High-harmonic generation in two-colour ($omega-2omega$) counter-rotating circularly polarised laser fields opens the path to generate isolated attosecond pulses and attosecond pulse trains with controlled ellipticity. The generated harmonics have alt ernating helicity, and the ellipticity of the generated attosecond pulse depends sensitively on the relative intensities of two adjacent, counter-rotating harmonic lines. For the $s$-type ground state, such as in Helium, the successive harmonics have nearly equal amplitude, yielding isolated attosecond pulses and attosecond pulse trains with linear polarisation, rotated by 120$^{{circ}}$ from pulse to pulse. In this work, we suggest a solution to overcome the limitation associated with the $s$-type ground state. It is based on modifying the three propensity rules associated with the three steps of the harmonic generation process: ionisation, propagation, and recombination. We control the first step by seeding high harmonic generation with XUV light tuned well below the ionisation threshold, which generates virtual excitations with the angular momentum co-rotating with the $omega$-field. We control the propagation step by increasing the intensity of the $omega$-field relative to the $2omega$-field, further enhancing the chance of the $omega$-field being absorbed versus the $2omega$-field, thus favouring the emission co-rotating with the seed and the $omega-$field. We demonstrate our proposed control scheme using Helium atom as a target and solving time-dependent Schr{o}dinger equation in two and three-dimensions.
Silicon-based light sources including light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes (LDs) for information transmission are urgently needed for developing monolithic integrated silicon photonics. Silicon doped by ion implantation with erbium ions (Er$ ^{3+}$) is considered a promising approach, but suffers from an extremely low quantum efficiency. Here we report an electrically pumped superlinear emission at 1.54 $mu$m from Er/O-doped silicon planar LEDs, which are produced by applying a new deep cooling process. Stimulated emission at room temperature is realized with a low threshold current of ~6 mA (~0.8 A/cm2). Time-resolved photoluminescence and photocurrent results disclose the complex carrier transfer dynamics from the silicon to Er3+ by relaxing electrons from the indirect conduction band of the silicon. This picture differs from the frequently-assumed energy transfer by electron-hole pair recombination of the silicon host. Moreover, the amplified emission from the LEDs is likely due to a quasi-continuous Er/O-related donor band created by the deep cooling technique. This work paves a way for fabricating superluminescent diodes or efficient LDs at communication wavelengths based on rare-earth doped silicon.
