Implantation of Organic Molecules into Biotissue by Pulsed Laser Irradiation
Zinc tetraphenyl porphyrin (ZnTPP) molecules were implanted into a piece of chicken skin by irradiation with KrF laser pulses. The study of the implanted ZnTPP at the skin surface using a fluorescence microscope indicated that the molecules are space-selectively introduced at the irradiated area.
We present optically pumped lasing from group IV GeSn/SiGeSn heterostructures. A comparison between double heterostructure and multi-quantum-well microdisk cavities reveals advantages of the multi-well design. Strongly reduced lasing thresholds compared to values from bulk devices are observed.
