Current Projects
Wet Etch: Reflectometer monitors etch rate, depth , surface roughness and dynamics of transition layer for phosphoric acid and peroxide etch of GaAs
Lasers/LEDs with Modulators: Small modulator can linearly or digitally switch light.
Mems waveguides: An electric field moves a micromachine and switches light.
Waveguides: GaAs and silica waveguides for interconnects and waveguide taps. Examining the ability of silica to smooth surfaces and to produce light emitting nanoclusters.
FETs and Lasers: Monolithically integrate low noise lasers and FETs.
Squeezed Light: Lasers produce number squeezed light.
