Surface-plasmon enhanced bright emission from CdSe quantum-dot nanocrystals (2006)
Okamoto, Koichi, Vyawahare, Saurabh, Scherer, Axel
We obtained very bright light emission from CdSe quantum dots (QDs) by using the surface-plasmon (SP) coupling technique. 23-fold enhanced photoluminescence (PL) intensities and two-fold increased PL...
Okamoto, Koichi, Scherer, Axel, Kawakami, Yoichi
Time-resolved microscopic transient lens (TR-M-TL) and near-field scanning optical microscopic transient lens (NSOM-TL) were performed to reveal temporal and spatial behavior of carrier dynamics in...
Confocal microphotoluminescence of InGaN-based light-emitting diodes (2005)
Okamoto, Koichi, Kaneta, Akio, Kawakami, Yoichi, Fujita, Shigeo, Choi, Jungkwon, Terazima, Masahide, ...
Spatially resolved photoluminescence (PL) of InGaN/GaN/AlGaN-based quantum-well-structured light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with a yellow-green light (530 nm) and an amber light (600 nm) was measured by...
Okamoto, Koichi, Niki, Isamu, Scherer, Axel, Narukawa, Yukio, Mukai, Takashi, Kawakami, Yoichi
We observed a 32-fold increase in the spontaneous emission rate of InGaN/GaN quantum well (QW) at 440 nm by employing surface plasmons (SPs) probed by time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy. We...
Surface plasmon enhanced emission from dye doped polymer layers (2005)
Neal, Terrell D., Okamoto, Koichi, Scherer, Axel
We have experimentally verified that the emission of visible light from dye doped polymers can be enhanced with the use of surface plasmon coupling. By matching the plasmon frequency of a thin...

Near-field scanning optical microscopy was used to observe high-resolution images of confined modes and photonic bands of planar photonic crystal (PPC) nanocavities fabricated in active InGaAsP...
Imaginary settings: Sino-Japanese-United States relations during the occupation years (2000)
This dissertation focuses on the historiographically missing years of Sino-Japanese-U.S. relations from 1945 to 1952, as well as seeks to promote understanding of the roles of transwar national...
