Figure 1From: Top-Hat HELLISH-VCSOA for optical amplification and wavelength conversion for 0.85 to 1.3μm operationThree-dimensional model for a standard HELLISH device. Schematic diagram to illustrate the quasi-flat band region (dotted lines) on the conduction and valence bands. Arrows depict the drifting and diffusion of the holes (white arrow) and electrons (black arrow). The non-filled arrow shows where the radiative recombination takes place, and the emitted photo energy is hν 1 .Back to article page
