Novel Optoelectronic Photonic Devices

About the Research

We develop innovative optoelectronic devices and radio frequency-photonic devices. These devices have applications in photonically controlled microwave systems, fiber-optic gyroscopes, collision avoidance systems, and biosensors. This research involves basic device and material physics studies, prototype device design, modeling, fabrication, and characterization.

Current Research

• Design and characterization of novel strained semiconductor quantum well heterostructures for polarization control
• Epitaxial growth techniques such as selective epitaxy and regrowth for bandgap engineering
• Monolithic integration of high-speed photodetectors with active field-effect transistors
• Monolithic integration of passive and active waveguide components
