Beginning in mid-February 2008, the 1997-2007 online version of the Science Watch® newsletter, ESI-Topics.com, and in-cites.com, will all be featured together on the redesigned ScienceWatch.com. All previous content from the three sites will be permanently archived, and remain accessible from any existing bookmarks to the archived pages. No new content will be added to this site. Updates and new content (updated biweekly) are available at ScienceWatch.com now.

Hot Paper in Engineering

"Room temperature continuous wave InGaAsN quantum well vertical-cavity lasers emitting at 1.3 mu m," by Kent D. Choquette and 11 others, Electronics Letters, 36(16): 1388-90, 3 August 2000.

[Authors' affiliations: Sandia National Labs, Albuquerque, NM; Cielo Commun. Inc., Broomfield, CO]

Abstract: "Selectively oxidised vertical-cavity lasers emitting at 1294 nm using InGaAsN/GaAs quantum wells which exhibit continuous wave operation at and above room temperature are reported for the first time. The lasers employ two n-type A10.94GaO.06As/GaAs distributed Bragg reflectors each with a selectively oxidised current aperture adjacent to the optical cavity, and the top output mirror contains a tunnel junction to inject holes into the active region. Continuous wave singlemode lasing is observed up to 55 degrees C. These lasers exhibit the longest wavelength reported to date for vertical-cavity surface lasers grown on GaAs substrates."

This 2000 report from Electronics Letters was cited 9 times in current journal articles indexed by ISI during July-August 2002. One other report published in the last two years and indexed in the Hot Papers category of Engineering managed to attract more citations during this bimonthly count, but none has yet matched Choquette et al.'s overall citation total as of the July-August tally. Prior to the most recent bimonthly period, citations to the paper have accrued as follows:

May-June 2002: 5 citations
March-April 2002: 4
January-February 2002: 4
November-December 2001: 2
September-October 2001: 8
July-August 2001: 8
May-June 2001: 6
March-April 2001: 7
January-February 2001: 3

Total citations to date: 56

SOURCE: Hot Papers Database (Included with a subscription to the ISI print newsletter Science Watch®, available from the ISI Research Services Group. Packaged on a CD-ROM that is mailed with each Science Watch issue, the Hot Papers Database contains data on hundreds of highly cited papers published during the last two years. User interface permits searching by author, organization, journal, field, and more. Total citations, as well as citations accrued during successive bimonthly periods, can be assessed and graphed. An updated CD containing the most recent bimonthly data is mailed with every new issue of Science Watch, six times a year. The CD also includes an electronic version of the Science Watch issue in HTML format, for personal desktop access.)
