| contents | Ultrafast electrically driven nanoscale light sources are critical components in nanophotonics. Compound semiconductor-based light sources for the nanophotonic platforms have been extensively investigated over the past decades. However, monolithic ultrafast light sources with a small footprint remain a challenge. Here, we demonstrate electrically driven ultrafast graphene light emitters that achieve light pulse generation with up to 10 GHz bandwidth, across a broad spectral range from the visible to the near-infrared. The fast response results from ultrafast charge carrier dynamics in graphene, and weak electron-acoustic phonon-mediated coupling between the electronic and lattice degrees of freedom. We also find that encapsulating graphene with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) layers strongly modifies the emission spectrum by changing the local optical density of states, thus providing up to 460 % enhancement compared to the grey-body thermal radiation for a broad peak centered at 720 nm. Furthermore, the hBN encapsulation layers permit stable and bright visible thermal radiation with electronic temperatures up to 2,000 K under ambient conditions, as well as efficient ultrafast electronic cooling via near-field coupling to hybrid polaritonic modes. These high-speed graphene light emitters provide a promising path for on-chip light sources for optical communications and other optoelectronic applications. |
