Summary

My research interests lie in three major areas of semiconductor-laser device physics : high-power, coherent edge-emitting lasers; high-power, coherent grating surface-emitting lasers; and intersubband-transition emitters . The first two are based on one-dimensional and two-dimensional active-photonic-crystal (APC) structures, respectively, for insuring long-range spatial coherence. The third has to do with electron transitions between the subbands of quantum-well structures or the energy levels in quantum-box(QB) structures, and is focused on achieving room-temperature, continuous-wave(CW), high-efficiency operation in the mid-infrared(IR) wavelength range : 3-5 microns

High-power coherent diode lasers have many applications such as as sources for high-speed, high-resolution laser printing; generators of blue light via harmonic conversion; and intersatellite optical communications.

Intersubband CW lasers emitting in the mid-IR have a wide range of applications from high-sensitivity spectroscopy for non-invasive medical diagnostics and/or chemical-agent detection to free-space communications and infrared countermeasures.
