When redox active molecules are covalently tethered to the surface of the n-doped silicon, light induces their oxidation by the semiconductor. To visualize this charge separation we have followed the formation and decay of the surface…
Precise knowledge of an optical device's frequency response is crucial for it to be useful in most applications. Traditional methods for determining the frequency response of an optical system (e.g. optical cavity or waveguide modulator)…
