    Highly nonlinear photoluminescence threshold in porous silicon (1999)

    Notes: Porous silicon is excited using near-infrared femtosecond pulsed and continuous wave radiation at an average intensity of ∼106 W/cm2 (8×1010 W/cm2 peak intensity in pulsed mode). Our results demonstrate the presence of micron-size regions for which the intensity of the photoluminescence has a highly nonlinear threshold, rising by several orders of magnitude near this incident intensity for both the pulsed and continuous wave cases. These results are discussed in terms of stimulated emission from quantum confinement engineered intrinsic Si–Si radiative traps in ultrasmall nanocrystallites, populated following two-photon absorption. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Detection of luminescent single ultrasmall silicon nanoparticles using fluctuation correlation spectroscopy (2000)
    Woodbury, NY : American Institute of Physics (AIP)

    Notes: We dispersed electrochemical etched Si into a colloid of ultrasmall blue luminescent nanoparticles, observable with the naked eye, in room light. We use two-photon near-infrared femtosecond excitation at 780 nm to record the fluctuating time series of the luminescence, and determine the number density, brightness, and size of diffusing fluorescent particles. The luminescence efficiency of particles is high enough such that we are able to detect a single particle, in a focal volume, of 1 pcm3. The measurements yield a particle size of 1 nm, consistent with direct imaging by transmission electron microscopy. They also yield an excitation efficiency under two-photon excitation two to threefold larger than that of fluorescein. Detection of single particles paves the way for their use as labels in biosensing applications. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Stimulated blue emission in reconstituted films of ultrasmall silicon nanoparticles (2001)
    Woodbury, NY : American Institute of Physics (AIP)

    Notes: We dispersed electrochemical etched Si into a colloid of ultrabright blue luminescent nanoparticles (1 nm in diameter) and reconstituted it into films or microcrystallites. When the film is excited by a near-infrared two-photon process at 780 nm, the emission exhibits a sharp threshold near 106 W/cm2, rising by many orders of magnitude, beyond which a low power dependence sets in. Under some conditions, spontaneous recrystallization forms crystals of smooth shape from which we observe collimated beam emission, pointing to very large gain coefficients. The results are discussed in terms of population inversion, produced by quantum tunneling or/and thermal activation, and stimulated emission in the quantum confinement-engineered Si–Si phase found only on ultrasmall Si nanoparticles. The Si–Si phase model provides gain coefficients as large as 103–105 cm−1. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Second harmonic generation in microcrystallite films of ultrasmall Si nanoparticles (2000)
    Woodbury, NY : American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Applied Physics Letters 77 (2000), S. 4086-4088

    Notes: We dispersed crystalline Si into a colloid of ultrasmall nano particles (∼1 nm), and reconstituted it into microcrystallites films on device-quality Si. The film is excited by near-infrared femtosecond two-photon process in the range 765–835 nm, with incident average power in the range 15–70 mW, focused to ∼1 μm. We have observed strong radiation at half the wavelength of the incident beam. The results are analyzed in terms of second-harmonic generation, a process that is not allowed in silicon due to the centrosymmetry. Ionic vibration of or/and excitonic self-trapping on novel radiative Si–Si dimer phase, found only in ultrasmall nanoparticles, are suggested as a basic mechanism for inducing anharmonicity that breaks the centrosymmetry. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
