Fabry-Perot microcavities were used for the enhancement and inhibition of photoluminescence (PL) in a hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride (a-SiNx:H) microcavity fabricated with and without ammonia. A planar microcavity was realized that included a metallic back mirror and an a-SiNx:H-air or a metallic front mirror. The PL extends from the red part of the spectrum to the near infrared for the samples grown without ammonia. The PL is in the blue-green part of the spectrum for the samples grown with ammonia. The PL amplitude is enhanced and the PL linewidth is reduced with respect to those in bulk a-SiNx:H. The numerically calculated transmittance, reflectance, and absorbance spectra agree well with the experimentally measured spectra.

Enhancement and inhibition of photoluminescence in hydrogenated amorphous Silicon nitride microcavities
Serpenguzel, Ali; Aydinli, Atilla; Bek, Alpan (1997-09-01)
A Fabry-Perot microcavity is used for the enhancement and inhibition of photoluminescence in hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride. The amplitude of the photoluminescence is enhanced 4 times, while its linewidth is reduced 8 times with respect to the bulk hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride. The transmittance, reflectance, and absorptance spectra of the microcavity were also measured and calculated. The calculated spectra agree well with the experimental ones.

Absorption bleaching by stimulated emission in erbium-doped silicon-rich silicon nitride waveguides
Olaosebikan, Debo; Yerci, Selcuk; Yerci, Selçuk; Preston, Kyle; Li, Rui; Dal Negro, Luca; Lipson, Michal (2011-01-01)
Stimulated emission from sensitized erbium ions in silicon-rich silicon nitride is demonstrated by pump-probe measurements carried out in waveguides. A decrease in the photoinduced absorption of the probe at the wavelength of erbium emission is observed and is attributed to stimulated emission from erbium excited indirectly via localized states in the silicon nitride matrix.

Photoluminescence analyses of hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride thin films
ANUTGAN, MUSTAFA; Anutgan, Tamila (Aliyeva); ATILGAN, İSMAİL; Katircioglu, Bayram (2011-07-01)
Silicon-rich hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride (a-SiN(x):H) films were grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) with different r=NH(3)/SiH(4) gas flow ratios. The optical absorption characteristics were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and UV-visible transmittance spectroscopies. The recombination properties were investigated via photoluminescence (PL) measurements. As r was increased from 2 to 9, the PL emission color could be adjusted from red to blue with the emission ...
Microcavity effects in the photoluminescence of hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride
Serpenguzel, A; Aydinli, A; Bek, Alpan (1998-01-01)
Fabry-Perot microcavities are used for the alteration of photoluminescence in hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride grown with and without ammonia. The photoluminescence is red-near-infrared for the samples grown without ammonia, and blue-green far the samples grown with ammonia. In the Fabry-Perot microcavities, the amplitude of the photoluminescence is enhanced, while its linewidth is reduced with respect to the bulk hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride. The microcavity was realized by a metallic back ...
Direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry analyses of polyamide-6 containing melamine and boron compounds
Isbasar, Ceyda; Bayramli, Erdal; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2013-08-01)
In this work, the thermal degradation characteristics of polyamide 6 (PA6) containing melamine (Me) and a boron-containing additive, borophosphate (BPO4), zinc borate (ZnB) or a boron and silicon-containing oligomer (BSi) are investigated systematically via direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry. In the presence of boron compounds, not only the release of melamine and its degradation products but also thermal characteristics of PA6 are affected significantly and the interactions between melamine and PA6 are enh...
