Light Amplification by Quantum Confinement (LAQC) in quantum optical lithography
Abstract
A nanoscale coherent light source, operating at room temperature, Light Amplification by Quantum Confinement (LAQC), has been realized during Quantum Optical Lithography studies. A model for LAQC light burst is proposed in which the fluorescent emitters are Tb3+ ions. We have selected experimental conditions for an emission disc with a diameter of 10 nm. Differences between LAQC, superradiance and superfluorescence are discussed.
