반도체에서 소자의 크기를 작게 하고 집적도를 높임으로서 성능과 효율을 증가시키는 노력이 계속되듯이 광소자의 경우에도 고효율을 갖는 아주 작은 크기의 발광소자를 만들어서 광 정보처리에 이용하려는 노력이 진행중이다. 특히 마이크론 크기의 공진기와 이득물질간의 광결합 효율이 높으면 레이저 발진 문턱이 낮아진다는 원리를 이용한 마이크로 레이저 연구가 활발하다. 이러한 마이크로 레이저의 연구는 크게 두 가지 방향으로 진행된다. (중략)

비대칭형 미소공진기는 방향성방출을 가지기 때문에 원형공진의 단점인 등방성 방출특성을 극복하기 위한 대안으로 많은 흥미를 끌어왔다. 또한 공진기 내에서 빛살궤적이 혼돈현상을 보이기 때문에 고전혼돈과 양자혼돈현상을 연구하기 위한 좋은 시스템을 제공한다. 우리는 높은 신뢰도의 사중극자변형 공진기를 만들기 위해 측면에서 공기를 불던 기존의 방법 대신 비원형 노즐을 이용하는 방법을 개발하였다. (중략)

정사각형 (sqaure) 구조 미소공진기는 Q값이 큰 4-bounce whispering gallery mode (WGM)가 존재 할 수 있고, 외부 도파로와 표면감쇠파 결합을 통해 상호작용할 때, 결합 길이가 매우 길어질 수 있어, 광통신용 Add／Drop Filter, 광집적회로 등의 저문턱 미소공진기 레이저 등의 광소자 분야에 적용하려는 연구가 최근 진행되고 있다. 그러나 단일 경계면을 갖는 사각 공진기는 공간 모드가 매우 많은 multimode 특성을 띄기 때문에 응용에 있어 단점이 된다. (중략)

Spectral behaviors of lasing from semiconductor square ring microcavities with structures for unidirectional laser oscillation were investigated. When a tapered structure was introduced, the lasing envelope shifted to a shorter wavelength region. Statistical estimate of the additional loss caused by the tapered structure was carried out by analyzing spectral data from many sets of cavities with various sizes. When a saw-edged structure was introduced, the unidirectional lasing functioned well but no apparent spectral shift was observed due to negligible additional loss.

By periodically varying the current density and etching time during anodic oxidation of crustalline silicon wafers in 15% HF-ethanol solution, we obtained porous silicon multilayers which have periodically varying refractive index. We fabricated the porous silicon microcavity (PSM) which consist of porous silicon multilayers (I), active layer of porous silicon, and porous silicon multilayers (II) and investigated its physical properties. The AFM (Atomic Force Microscope) measurement from the cross section of multilayers (I and II) shows uniformity of high refractive index and low index layers as well as the active layer. We observed the characteristics of Bragg reflector when the thickness of layers was 1/4 and the thickness of active layer was twice of the effective wavelength, which can be used as a filter for specific wavelength. We found the emission characteristic from the PSM, which FWHM (full width half maximum) was considerably decreased and emission intensity was increased.

We will report a few methods to improve the efficiency and stability in small molecule based organic solar cells, including the formation of bulk heterojunctions (BHJs) through alternative thermal deposition (ATD), the use of a micro-cavity structure and interface modifications. By ATD which is a simple modification of conventional thermal evaporation, the thicknesses of alternative donor and acceptor layers were precisely controlled down to 0.1 nm, which is critical to form BHJs. The formation of a BHJ in copper(II) phthalocyanine (CuPc) and fullerene (C60) systems was confirmed by AFM, GISAXS and absorption measurements. From analysis of the data, we found that the CuPc|C60 films fabricated by ATD were composed of the nanometer sized disk shaped CuPc nano grains and aggregated C60, which explains the phase separation of CuPc and C60. On the other hand, the co-deposited CuPc:C60 films did not show the existence of separated CuPc nano grains in the CuPc:C60 matrix. The OPV cells fabricated using the ATD method showed significantly enhanced power conversion efficiency compared to the co-deposited OPV cells under a same composition [1]. We will also present by numerical simulation that adoption of microcavity structure in the planar heterojunction can improve the short circuit current in single and tandem OSCs [2]. Interface modifications also allowed us to achieve high efficiency and high stability OSCs.

We have studied organic layer-thickness dependent electrical and optical properties of bottom- and top-emission devices. Bottom-emission device was made in a structure of ITO(170 nm)/TPD(x nm)/$Alq_3$(y nm)/LiF(0.5 nm)/Al(100 nm), and a top-emission device in a structure of glass/Al(100 nm)/TPD(x nm)/$Alq_3$(y nm)/LiF(0.5 nm)/Al(25 nm). A hole-transport layer of TPD (N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-di(m-tolyl)-benzidine) was thermally deposited in a range of 35 nm and 65 nm, and an emissive layer of $Alq_3$ (tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum) was successively deposited in a range of 50 nm and 100 nm. Thickness ratio between the hole-transport layer and the emissive layer was maintained to be 2:3, and a whole layer thickness was made to be in a range of 85 and 165 nm. From the current density-luminance-voltage characteristics of the bottom-emission devices, a proper thickness of the organic layer (55 nm thick TPD and 85 nm thick $Alq_3$ layer) was able to be determined. From the view-angle dependent emission spectrum of the bottom-emission device, the peak wavelength of the spectrum does not shift as the view angle increases. However, for the top-emission device, there is a blue shift in peak wavelength as the view angle increases when the total layer thickness is thicker than 140 nm. This blue shift is thought to be due to a microcavity effect in organic light-emitting diodes.

Effects of a dielectric capping layer on the luminous characteristics of top emitting organic light emitting diodes (TOLEDs) have been analyzed using a classical electromagnetic theory. Special attention was given to the influence of the cavity length on the effectiveness of the capping layer. The luminance characteristics of the TOLEDs influenced by the combined effects of the cavity length and the capping layer thickness. Furthermore, these combined effects also modify the emission spectrum and pattern of the TOLEDs, which result in the improvement of total luminance of the device, but no significant change in the device out-coupling efficiency.
