Wavelets techniques for pointwise anti-Holderian irregularity
In this paper, we introduce a notion of weak pointwise Holder regularity,
starting from the de nition of the pointwise anti-Holder irregularity. Using
this concept, a weak spectrum of singularities can be de ned as for the usual
pointwise Holder regularity. We build a class of wavelet series satisfying the
multifractal formalism and thus show the optimality of the upper bound. We also
show that the weak spectrum of singularities is disconnected from the casual
one (denoted here strong spectrum of singularities) by exhibiting a
multifractal function made of Davenport series whose weak spectrum di ers from
the strong one
Effect of the GaAsP shell on optical properties of self-catalyzed GaAs nanowires grown on silicon
We realize growth of self-catalyzed core-shell GaAs/GaAsP nanowires (NWs) on
Si substrates using molecular-beam epitaxy. Transmission electron microscopy
(TEM) of single GaAs/GaAsP NWs confirms their high crystal quality and shows
domination of the zinc-blende phase. This is further confirmed in optics of
single NWs, studied using cw and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL). A
detailed comparison with uncapped GaAs NWs emphasizes the effect of the GaAsP
capping in suppressing the non-radiative surface states: significant PL
enhancement in the core-shell structures exceeding 2000 times at 10K is
observed; in uncapped NWs PL is quenched at 60K whereas single core-shell
GaAs/GaAsP NWs exhibit bright emission even at room temperature. From analysis
of the PL temperature dependence in both types of NW we are able to determine
the main carrier escape mechanisms leading to the PL quench
Phase-locking of a 2.7-THz quantum cascade laser to a mode-locked erbium-doped fibre laser
We demonstrate phase-locking of a 2.7-THz metalmetal waveguide quantum cascade laser (QCL) to an external microwave signal. The reference is the 15th harmonic, generated by a semiconductor superlattice nonlinear device, of a signal at 182 GHz, which itself is generated by a multiplier-chain (x2x3x2) from a microwave synthesizer at 15 GHz. Both laser and reference radiations are coupled into a hot electron bolometer mixer, resulting in a beat signal, which is fed into a phase-lock loop. Spectral analysis of the beat signal (see fig. 1) confirms that the QCL is phase locked. This result opens the possibility to extend heterodyne interferometers into the far-infrared range
