Photon limited region

An example from this laboratory demonstrates the photoelectrochernical etching of blazed structures. Crystals of n-GaAs (Nq = 5x1 O Vcm ) were cut and polished with (100), (100)-8° and (100)-18° orientations. The other parameters in Eq. 5 were n = 6, N = 500 and W = 2x1 O cm. The electrolyte composition was 0.1 M KCI, adjusted to pH 3, and the light intensity was 30 mW/cm . The potential was held at the onset of the photon limited region, 0.4 volt vs. SCE. Initial structures were etched under the assumption that the interior angles were 70.54°, as defined by the (ill) Ga surfaces. However, we found under closer examination that this angle was dependent on the etching conditions and on the electrolyte, and was closer to 90° under the present conditions. This would correspond most closely to the (223)Ga-rich surface. With a... 

From the two preceding sections, it is clear that VCD and ROA are measured in entirely different ways. Most of these differences stem from the way in which the parent vibrational intensity is measured. In the case of ROA, the spectral region is the visible, where it is possible to reach photon-limited background...

Some detectors for the visible and UV spectral regions can detect individual photons. These detectors are shot-noise limited. X-ray and gamma-ray spectroscopy also detects... 

Exciton decay When an exciton decays radiatively a photon is emitted. When the excitons form in fluorescent materials radiative decay is limited to singlet excitons and emission occurs close to the recombination region [7] of the OLED due to the relatively short lifetime of the excited state (of the order of 10 ns). For phosphorescent materials, emission can occur from triplet excitons. Due to the longer excited state lifetime (of the order of hundreds of nanoseconds), triplet excitons can diffuse further before decaying.
