Solar-Blind AlGaN-based Schottky Photodiodes With High Detectivity and Low Noise
We report on the design, fabrication and characterization of solar-blind Schottky photodiodes with high detectivity and low noise. The devices were fabricated on n-/n+ AlGaN/GaN hetero-structures using a microwav...

Squeezed Light Generation with an Incoherent Pump
Several experiments have been reported for the generation of squeezed light since 1985 [1]. All of these experiments employ a coherent source (either a single-mode continuous-wave (cw) laser or a cw mode-locke...
