摘要: Abstract We report on light emission from silicon nanocrystals (Si-nc) in a laser cavity. Using modified electrochemical etching of Si wafers we prepare Si-nc with blue-shifted photoluminescence spectrum down to 580–620 nm, embedded at high-volume fractions SiO 2 -based solid matrix. insert this active medium into an optically pumped resonator. Since our samples are only partially homogeneous, cannot use external mirrors order achieve optical feedback: induced internal distributed cavity by intense, spatially periodical excitation. Mode selection was simulated simplified theoretical model, based approach multiple reflections. In the framework model discuss experimentally observed spectral changes
