Title: Investigation of the Effects of the Multiplication Area Shape on the Operational Parameters of InGaAs/InAlAs SPADs
Authors: Anton Losev, Alexandr Filyaev, Vladimir Zavodilenko, Igor Pavlov, and Alexander Gorbatsevich
Abstract summary: Changing the diameter of the structure's active region leads to a change in the dark current in the linear part of the current-voltage curve. It is reasonable to pick specific SPADs from a batch on the sole basis of their current-voltage curves.

Abstract: A 2D model of an InGaAs/InAlAs single photon avalanche photodiode has been developed. The influence of the active area structure in the multiplication region on the diode's operating parameters has been studied. It was found that changing the diameter of the structure's active region leads to a change in the dark current in the linear part of the current-voltage curve and a change in the breakdown voltage. Reducing the diameter of the active region from 25 $\mu$m to 10 $\mu$m allowed decreasing the dark current in the linear mode by about $10$ dB. It has been shown that the quality of the SPAD device can be assessed by knowing the avalanche breakdown voltage and the overall current-voltage curve plot if we consider structures with the same multiplication region thickness and different remaining layers. The higher the breakdown voltage, the better the structure's quality due to smaller local increases in the field strength. Following this statement, we conclude that for further use in single-photon detectors, it is reasonable to pick specific SPADs from a batch on the sole basis of their current-voltage curves.

We investigate high-harmonic generation (HHG) in honeycomb-lattice graphene models when subjected to a DC electric field. We show that the dynamical and static symmetries are partially broken by a DC current or staggered potential term. The laser intensity, frequency, and polarization are also shown to affect the shape of the HHG spectra.

Optimal baseline exploitation in vertical dark-matter detectors based on atom interferometry [50.06952271801328]
Several terrestrial detectors for gravitational waves and dark matter based on long-baseline atom interferometry are currently in the final planning stages or already under construction. We show that resonant-mode detectors based on multi-diamond fountain gradiometers achieve the optimal, shot-noise limited, sensitivity if their height constitutes 20% of the available baseline.

Conformational effect on electronic localization is investigated for the first time considering a double-stranded helical geometry subjected to an electric field. In the presence of electric field the DSHG behaves like a correlated disordered system whose site potentials are modulated in a cosine form. The interplay between the helical geometry and electric field may open up several notable features of electronic localization.

In this work we use an open microcavity composed of a "bottom" semiconductor distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) incorporating an n-i-p heterostructure. We demonstrate a reversible in-situ technique to tune the mode-splitting by applying uniaxial stress to the semiconductor DBR. A thorough study of the mode-splitting and its tuning across the stop-band leads to a quantitative understanding of the mechanism behind the results.

semiconductor integrated sources of photon pairs may operate at pump wavelengths much closer to the bandgap of the materials. We show that devices operating near the long wavelength end of the S-band or the short C-band require temporal filtering shorter than 1 ns. We predict that shifting the operating wavelengths to the L-band and making small adjustments in the material composition will reduce the amount of photoluminescence to negligible values.

We suggest the measurement of the twist of a chiral mechanical element induced by a gravitational wave. The induced twist rotates a flat optical mirror on top of this chiral element, leading to the deflection of an incident laser beam. We estimate a gravitational wave strain sensitivity between 10-21/sqrtHz and 10-23/sqrtHz at around 10 kHz frequency.
