Download (769.03 kB)

The white light reflection image of the waveguide is a bitmap file.

The spectral image is given in ASCII matrix, with dimensions 1340x60 pixels. The energy axis can be calibrated using P1*x + P2, P1=-7.34555954E-3 nm/pixel, P2=8.86977966E+2 nm, initial pixel x=0. The x position axis can be calibrated using P1*y + P2, P1=5.95401108E-1 um/pixel, P2=-3.26574554E+1 um, initial pixel x=24. Intensity scale: from -3.26574554E+1 to 3.0072E+4 counts; multiply by 2/60 to obtain intensity in photoelectrons per time per pixel. The QD spectrum is obtained as a cut along x. The cut is averaging from pixels y=31 and y=35.

The spectrally integrated emission ratio is given in a .dat file of 16 columns, which contains: 4 columns per spectrometer center position. These are excitation position in micrometers and spectrally integrated emission ratio for experimental data (first two columns) and fit (last two columns). The spectrometer center position are 1.378eV (1-4 columns), 1.393eV (5-8 columns), 1.409eV (9-12 columns), 1.425eV (13-16 columns). Losses from photoluminescence (PL), relative efficiency of the grating out-couplers from PL and losses from near-field (NF) imaging are all given in a .dat file with 8 columns: energy scale of losses from PL (eV), losses from PL (um^(-1)), standard deviation (std) error of losses from PL (um^(-1)), relative efficiency of the grating out-coupler (unitless), std error of relative efficiency of the grating out-coupler (unitless), energy scale of losses from NF (eV), losses from NF (um^(-1)), std error of losses from NF (um^(-1)). 

The measured and simulated dispersion are given in a .dat file with 12 columns: simulated propagation wavevector (pi/a), simulated higher order mode (eV), simulated propagation wavevector (pi/a), light cone (eV), measured propagation wavevector (pi/a), laser excitation energy (eV), simulated propagation wavevector (pi/a), simulated fundamental mode (eV), simulated propagation wavevector (pi/a), simulated slab modes (eV), quantum dots emission (photoelectrons/s), quantum dots emission energy (eV). The simulation code is given in a txt file, and it is intended for use with the freely available electromagnetic modelling software "MEEP" (https://meep.readthedocs.io/en/latest/). Information about how to run the script from command line is given in the txt file README.txt.

Near-field and far-field images are given in ASCII matrices.
