The lasing mode of a two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal laser with in-plane multidirectionally distributed feedback effect is analyzed theoretically and experimentally. From an investigation of the Bragg diffraction conditions at several points in the photonic band diagram where lasing is expected, we identify a particular Γ point at which lasing occurs due to the coupling of lightwaves propagating in six equivalent Γ-X directions and diffraction normal to the substrate surface. In order to investigate the lasing mode in detail, the distribution of the electromagnetic field at the band edges at the Γ point is calculated, and each band edge is found to have a different field pattern. The lasing characteristics of the 2D photonic crystal laser at the lasing wavelength corresponding to the Γ point are measured. Single-mode lasing over a broad circular area is observed by microelectroluminescence measurements under pulsed conditions at room temperature. We also demonstrate the correspondence between the measured lasing wavelengths and calculated band edges by comparing the polarization characteristics with the calculated distribution of the electromagnetic field. The results indicate that 2D coherent lasing oscillation does, in fact, occur due to the multidirectional coupling effect in the 2D photonic crystal. From the theoretical calculation, we show that the polarization patterns of the lasers can be controlled by introducing artificial lattice defects.

The ultimate goal of our study is to create a new speech production system, in which an anthropomorphic hardware talking robot is handled so as to imitate human articulatory movement. We have developed a software motion simulator, which generates control parameter sequences for the talking robot Waseda Talker No. 2 (WT-2) using the trajectories of human articulatory organs during continuous utterances measured by an electromagnetic articulograph. This paper mainly describes the motion simulator. In addition to its main function as a generator of control parameters for WT-2, the motion simulator also simulates the resultant acoustic characteristics related to WT-2's vocal tract shape at each instance during the motion. The hardware structure of WT-2 is also described briefly. This comprehensive approach will enable us to study speech production using the features of the vocal tract shape as speech motor tasks, instead of using acoustic features.

Summary form only given. Excitonic optical properties have been extensively studied in a large variety of semiconductors, and it has been found that biexciton formation and relaxation play an important role in the nonlinear optical processes. The binding energies of biexcitons in typical semiconductors, however, are less than 10 meV so that it is difficult in femtosecond spectroscopy to distinguish the biexciton process from a single exciton process. In order to study the exciton-biexciton system in detail, a large binding energy of the biexciton is required. In this paper we report on the biexcitons with extremely large binding energy (= 66 meV) in an organic-inorganic hybrid quantum-well material, (C/sub 4/H/sub 9/NH/sub 3/)/sub 2/PbBr/sub 4/. This material belongs to the layered perovskite-type quantum-well materials (C/sub n/H/sub 2n+1/NH/sub 3/)/sub 2/PbX/sub 4/ which have excitons with large binding energy. We investigate the dynamics of such a stable exciton-biexciton system.

Recent progresses in photonic crystals including both three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) crystals are reviewed. On 3D photonic crystals, we at first explain our approach to create full 3D bandgap crystals at near-infrared wavelengths, and then the introduction of the light-emitters into 3D crystals. On 2D crystals, two types of devices are explained. One is channel-add-drop-filtering devices, which utilize line- and single-defects introduced in 2D photonic crystal slab structure. The other is the 2D photonic crystal laser, which utilizes multi-directional distributed feedback effects.

Summary form only given. It has been found that the lowest-energy exciton in (C/sub 6/H/sub 13/NH/sub 3/)/sub 2/PbI/sub 4/ is so stable that the excitonic absorption peaks are clearly observable even at room temperature. It has been shown by four-wave-mixing (FWM) spectroscopy that it has large /spl chi//sup (3)/ value (10/sup -6/ esu) and fast response time (<7 ps) at the exciton resonance, and that the exciton-exciton interactions play an important role in the FWM processes.

This paper proposes a Rao-Blackwellised sequential Monte Carlo (RBSMC) scheme for on-line learning with feedforward neural nets. The proposed algorithm is tested against an example and the performance is compared with those of the conventional sequential Monte Carlo as well as the extended Kalman filter (EKF). The proposed scheme outperforms those conventional algorithms.
