InGaAs/GaAs quantum wire structures were grown by low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition by using selective area epitaxy.$ In_{ 0.2}$$Ga_{0.8}$ As/GaAs quantum wire structures were grown on a $SiO_2$ masked GaAs substrate. Quantum wire structures with sharp tips and smooth side walls were grown. We have grown InGaAs/GaAs quantum wire structures using variously opened width of the $SiO _2$ mask. Even though the opening widths of $SiO_2$ masked GaAs substrate were different, similar shapes of triangular structures were grown. Using various kinds of differently opened $SiO_2$ masked area, it would be possible to grow quantum wire structures with various thicknesses. The quantum wire structures are formed near the pinnacle of the triangular structure. Therefore, the fabrication of the uniquely designed integrated optical devices which include light emitting sources of multiple wavelength is possible.

A numerical approach for the analysis of quantum wire structures has been presented using a finite-element method which includes the strain analysis and the band analysis of the Luttinger-Kohn Hamiltonian with the deformation potential. A systematic implementation of the multiband Hamiltonian in the finite-element scheme is outlined and the corresponding variational functional is derived for arbitrarily shaped strained quantum wire arrays. This method is then applied to calculate the band structures of strained quantum wire arrays.

The effects of strain distribution in quantum wire arrays have been analyzed using a finite-element method including both the hydrostatic and shear strain components. Their effects on the optical properties of the quantum wire arrays are assessed for various types of stress profiles by calculating the optical gain and the polarization dependence. The results show unique polarization dependency, which can be exploited either for the single polarization or the polarization-independent operation in quantum wire photonic devices.

In this paper, we synthesize ZnO wire on Si substrate by catalyst-free thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Each ZnO wire is grew up at different condition such as temperature and O2 flow rate. The Young's modulus of individual ZnO wires were estimated using quasi-static and dynamic measurements, as well as resonance frequency measurements. Using this system, current-voltage characteristics of each ZnO wire structure fabricated on a trench were measured. A new concept of electromechanical device structure combined with the piezoelectric effect of ZnO will be suggested in the end of this paper.

In order to enhance current Injection efficiency of Y-groove inner strife(VIS) quantum wire lasers, three different current configurations, n-blocking on p-substrate(VIPS), p-n-p-n blocking on n-substrate(VI(PN)nS), p-blocking on n-substrate(VINS) have been designed and fabricated. Among them VIPS laser showed the most stable characteristics of lasing up to 5 mW/facet, a threshold current of 39.9 mA at 818 nm, and an external differential quantum efficiency of 24 %/facet. The current tuning rate was almost linear 0.031 nm/mA, and the temperature tuning rate was measured to be 0.14 nm/$^{\circ}C$.

Using low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), we have developed selectively area epitaxy (SAE). Using the developed SAE technology, we have grown AlGaAs/GaAs multi layers and InGaAs/GaAs quantum wire structures on the selectively $SiO_2$ masked GaAs substrates. We have obtained triangular shaped AlGaAs/GaAs and InGaAs/GaAs structures with sharp tips and smooth sidewalls. To rod the optimum conditions, several growth parameters such as growth rate, V/III ratio, growth temperature, and direction of the opening stripes were investigated. The emission peak from quantum wires was observed at 975 nm. With increasing of temperature the emission intensity from side wall quantum wells decreased abruptly. But the intensity from Quantum wires decreased slowly compared to that of side wall quantum wells and it became even stronger from above 50 K.

The GaAs semiconductor whispering gallery modes, produced in the peripheral Rayleigh band region of W／sub Rayleigh／ ＝ (${\Phi}$／2)( 1-n／sub eff／n), exhibit novel properties of ultralow thresholds open to nano-ampere regime associated with photonic quantum ring (PQR) production (Fig 1 (a)). The PQR phenomena are associated with a photonic field-driven phase transition of quantum well(QW)-to-quantum wire (QWR) and hence the photonic (non-de Broglie) quantum corral effects, on the Rayleigh cavity confined carriers in dynamic steady state, occur as schematically shown in Fig 1.

GaAs/AlGaAs quantum-wire (QWR) gain-coupled distributed-feedback (GC-DFB) lasers are fabricated and characterized Constant metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) growth is used to avoid grating overgrowth during the fabrication of DFB structures. Numerical calculation shows large gain anisotropy by optical feedback along the DFB directions near Bragg wavelength. DFB lasing via QWR active gratings is also experimentally achieved.

The miniband structure of a quantum dot lattice based on GaN/AlN nanowire arrays has been investigated using the finite element method and Floquet theorem. The quantum dot modes and the quantum wire modes in the nanowire arrays were graphically verified. The optimum geometries of GaN/AlN quantum wire arrays were investigated by using a correlation between the width of nanowires and the separation of the minibandgap which is to be larger than the thermal energy at room temperature.

In this paper, the cavity-length-dependent spectral and temporal characteristics of a V-groove AlGaAs-GaAs quantum wire (QWR) laser at each subband were investigated. At short cavity lasers less than $300{\mu}m$, a discrete wavelength switching from the n=1 to the n=2 subband occurred due to the increased threshold gain, resulting from the increased cavity loss. Using the characteristic of the wavelength shift from n=1 to the n=2 subband with shortening the cavity length, ultrafast lasing behaviors under gain switching at the n=1 and the n=2 subband transition were demonstrated and compared.
