We present the first time-resolved cryogenic observations of Forster energy transfer in large, monodisperse lead sulphide quantum dots with ground state transitions near 1.5 um (0.83 eV), in environments from 160 K to room temperature. The observed temperature-dependent dipole-dipole transfer rate occurs in the range of (30-50 ns)^(-1), measured with our confocal single-photon counting setup at 1.5 um wavelengths. By temperature-tuning the dots, 94% efficiency of resonant energy transfer can be achieved for donor dots. The resonant transfer rates match well with proposed theoretical models.

Zero-mode waveguides (ZMW) nanoapertures milled in metal films were proposed to improve the FRET efficiency and enable single molecule FRET detection beyond the 10 nm barrier, overcoming the restrictions of diffraction-limited detection in a homogene ous medium. However, the earlier ZMW demonstrations were limited to the Atto 550 - Atto 647N fluorophore pair, asking the question whether the FRET enhancement observation was an artefact related to this specific set of fluorescent dyes. Here, we use Alexa Fluor 546 and Alexa Fluor 647 to investigate single molecule FRET at large donor-acceptor separations exceeding 10 nm inside ZMWs. These Alexa fluorescent dyes feature a markedly different chemical structure, surface charge and hydrophobicity as compared to their Atto counterparts. Our single molecule data on Alexa 546 - Alexa 647 demonstrate enhanced FRET efficiencies at large separations exceeding 10 nm, extending the spatial range available for FRET and confirming the earlier conclusions. By showing that the FRET enhancement inside a ZMW does not depend on the set of fluorescent dyes, this report is an important step to establish the relevance of ZMWs to extend the sensitivity and detection range of FRET, while preserving its ability to work on regular fluorescent dye pairs.
In this paper, a technique combing cascaded energy-transfer pumping (CEP) method and master-oscillator power-amplifier (MOPA) configuration is proposed for power scaling of 1.6-um-band single-frequency fiber lasers (SFFLs), where the Er3+ ion has a l imited gain. The CEP technique is fulfilled by coupling a primary signal light at 1.6 um and a C-band auxiliary laser. The numerical model of the fiber amplifier with the CEP technique reveals that the energy transfer process involves the pump competition and the in-band particle transition between the signal and auxiliary lights. Moreover, for the signal emission, the population density in the upper level is enhanced and the effective population inversion is achieved due to the CEP. A single-frequency MOPA laser at 1603 nm with an output power of 52.6 W is obtained experimentally. Besides, a slope efficiency of 30.4% is improved by more than 10% through the CEP technique. Both the output power and slope efficiency are by far the highest for 1.6-um-band SFFLs. Meanwhile, a laser linewidth of 5.2 kHz and a polarization-extinction ratio of ~18 dB are obtained at the maximum output power. The proposed technique provides an optional method of increasing the slope efficiency and power scaling for fiber lasers operating at L-band.
Energy can be transferred in a radiative manner between objects with different electrical fluctuations. In this work, we consider near-field energy transfer between two separated parallel plates: one is graphene-covered boron nitride and the other a magneto-optic medium. We first study the energy transfer between the two plates having the same temperature. An electric current through the graphene gives rise to nonequilibrium fluctuations and induces the energy transfer. Both the magnitude and direction of the energy flux can be controlled by the electric current and an in-plane magnetic field in the magneto-optic medium. This is due to the interplay between nonreciprocal effective photonic temperature in graphene and nonreciprocal surface modes in the magneto-optic plate. Furthermore, we report that a tunable thermoelectric current can be generated in the graphene in the presence of a temperature difference between the two plates.
In this letter, we present a high pulse energy Raman laser at 1946 nm wavelength directly pumped with a 1533 nm custom-made fiber laser. The Raman laser is based on the stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in an 8-meter carbon dioxide (CO2) filled neste d anti-resonant hollow-core fiber (ARHCF). The low energy phonon emission combined with the inherent SRS process along the low-loss fiber allows the generation of high pulse energy up to 15.4 {mu}J at atmospheric CO2 pressure. The Raman laser exhibits good long-term stability and low relative intensity noise (RIN) of less than 4%. We also investigate the pressure-dependent overlap of the Raman laser line with the absorption band of CO2 at 2 {mu}m spectral range. Our results constitute a novel and promising technology towards high energy 2 {mu}m lasers.
Many-body effect and strong Coulomb interaction in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides lead to shrink the intrinsic bandgap, originating from the renormalization of electrical/optical bandgap, exciton binding energy, and spin-orbit splitting. This renormalization phenomenon has been commonly observed at low temperature and requires high photon excitation density. Here, we present the augmented bandgap renormalization in monolayer MoS_2 anchored on CsPbBr_3 perovskite quantum dots at room temperature via charge transfer. The amount of electrons significantly transferred from perovskite gives rise to the large plasma screening in MoS_2. The bandgap in heterostructure is red-shifted by 84 meV with minimal pump fluence, the highest bandgap renormalization in monolayer MoS_2 at room temperature, which saturates with further increase of pump fluence. We further find that the magnitude of bandgap renormalization inversely relates to Thomas-Fermi screening length. This provides plenty of room to explore the bandgap renormalization within existing vast libraries of large bandgap van der Waals heterostructure towards practical devices such as solar cells, photodetectors and light-emitting-diodes.
