Current Research Activities
Research interests are in the area of new electronic and optoelectronic device structures created by heterojunctions, quantum wells, superlattices and engineered materials.Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) is utilized to prepare artificially structured metastable materials with atomic layer control and dimensions smaller than the wavelength of electrons.In this regime, quantum size effects can be utilized to create entirely new device structures based upon tunneling and/or transitions between quantum states.Current activities include: MBE growth of novel optoelectronic materials (GaInNAsSb) for long wavelength lasers; quantum well structures for surface emitting lasers, high-power lasers, high speed optical modulators and non-linear optical effects for generation, control and application of ultra-short optical pulses; Si based photonic devices; integrated photonic systems for biomedical detection and applications; high power THz sources and their application to medical imaging; spin based quantum structures for spintronics and quantum computation; quantum transport and single electron devices; micromachined structures (MEMS) for tunable optoelectronic devices.
