Abstract:

Inorganic perovskite lasers are of particular interest, with much recent work focusing on Fabry-Pérot cavity-forming nanowires. We demonstrate the direct observation of lasing from transverse electromagnetic (TEM) modes with a long coherence time ∼ 9.5 ps in coupled CsPbBr3 quantum dots, which dispense with an external cavity resonator and show how the wavelength of the modes can be controlled via two independent tuning-mechanisms. Controlling the pump power allowed us to fine-tune the TEM mode structure to the emission wavelength, thus providing a degree of control over the properties of the lasing signal. The temperature-tuning provided an additional degree of control over the wavelength of the lasing peak, importantly, maintained a constant full width at half maximum (FWHM) over the entire tuning range without mode-hopping.

Classical Mechanics: A professor–student collaboration

L. Scarpa, M. Campanelli, A. d’Alfonso del Sordo, C. Tacconis, E. Caprioglio, S. M. Perez Garcia, M. T. Shabbir

Abstract:

Classical Mechanics: A professor-student collaboration is a textbook tailored for undergraduate physics students embarking on a first-year module in Newtonian mechanics. This book was written as a unique collaboration between Professor Mario Campanelli and students that attended his course in Classical Mechanics at University College London (UCL). Taking his lecture notes as a starting point, and reflecting on their own experiences studying the material, the students worked together with Prof. Campanelli to produce a comprehensive course text that covers a familiar topic from a new perspective.
