Optoelectronic Materials and Processes for Communications

Optical communications has provided a driving force for much recent research in optoelectronic materials including laser, non-linear and optical fiber materials. Present research focuses on second generation materials: very low loss non-SiO sub 2 based fibers, very long wavelength lasers including quaternary III-V solid solutions lattice matched to GaSb, (HgCd)Te lattice matched to (CdMn)Te and electro-optic materials including LiNbO sub 3.
