Free surface synthetic schlieren (FS-SS) is a liquid surface topography visualization technique relying on apparent dot pattern displacement due to liquid surface deformation. It has gained attention in the fluid visualization field due to its relatively simple and inexpensive setup. One of the most powerful features of the FS-SS technique is the 3D topography of deformed liquid surface, in which submillimeter scale changes can be readily observed in great detail. The visualization of liquid meniscus at the solid interface is proposed in this study to calculate surface tension by equating the surface tension force with weight of light, floating object with circular geometry. It was found that surface tensions of liquids are much greater than anticipated, suggesting that the effect of buoyant force of displaced liquid due to deformed interface cannot be neglected. When the buoyant force is included, the calculated surface tension of liquids are within 10% of the reference values.

Large-scale optoelectronics integration is strongly limited by the lack of efficient light sources, which could be integrated with the silicon complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology. Persistent efforts continue to achieve efficient light emission from silicon in the extending the silicon technology into fully integrated optoelectronic circuits. Here, we report the realization of room-temperature stimulated emission in the technologically crucial 1.5 µm wavelength range from Er-doped GaN multiple-quantum wells on silicon and sapphire. Employing the well-acknowledged variable stripe technique, we have demonstrated an optical gain up to 170 cm-1 in the multiple-quantum well structures. The observation of the stimulated emission is accompanied by the characteristic threshold behavior of emission intensity as a function of pump fluence, spectral linewidth narrowing and excitation length. The demonstration of room-temperature lasing at the minimum loss window of optical fibers and in the eye-safe wavelength region of 1.5 µm are highly sought-after for use in many applications including defense, industrial processing, communication, medicine, spectroscopy and imaging. As the synthesis of Er-doped GaN epitaxial layers on silicon and sapphire has been successfully demonstrated, the results laid the foundation for achieving hybrid GaN-Si lasers providing a new pathway towards full photonic integration for silicon optoelectronics. Driven by the strong need for cheap and integrable Si-based optoelectronic devices for a wide range of applications, continuing endeavors have been made to develop structures for light emission, modulation, and detection in this material system. Recent breakthroughs including the demonstration of a high-speed optical modulator in Si,1-2 photodetectors3, and waveguides4 have brought the concept of transition from electrical to optical interconnects closer to realization. However, the base for silicon photonics, namely, a group IV la
