Tenfold improved sensitivity using high refractive-index substrates for surface plasmon sensing (2008)

Micheletto, Ruggero, Hamamoto, Katsumi, Fujii, Takashi, Kawakami, Yoichi

Surface plasmon resonance sensors exploit the high sensitivity to local perturbations of plasma waves in a thin metal layer. These devices have a wide range of applications as biomedical,...

Dual partial dye doping for chromaticity tuning and performance enhancement of white OLEDs (2008)

Park, Jongwoon, Suganuma, Naotoshi, Kawakami, Yoichi

n general, a guest dopant is doped into a single host matrix for white-light emission with two complementary colors. In this work, however, we have fabricated a white organic light-emitting diode...

Initial nucleation of AlN grown directly on sapphire substrates by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (2008)

Banal, Ryan G., Funato, Mitsuru, Kawakami, Yoichi

AlN layers were grown directly on sapphire (0001) substrates using three different growth sequences based on metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy with an emphasis on initial nucleation processes. These...

Near-field scanning optical microscopic transient lens for carrier dynamics study in InGaN/GaN (2005)

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...

Surface plasmon enhanced spontaneous emission rate of InGaN/GaN quantum wells probed by time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy (2005)

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...
