Engineering Research Equipment: High Repetition Rate Laser Pulse Amplifier for Ultrahigh Speed Semiconductor and Optoelectronic Device Research

普林斯顿大学电气工程系将根据这项工程研究购买高重复频率激光脉冲放大设备设备补助金，将致力于支持工程研究。这些设备将用于几个研究项目，具体包括：(1)低维半导体超快电子过程和载流子弛豫的研究结构，目的是应用从这项工作中获得的新知识来理解目前的优势和局限性并开发新的光电子器件，(2)最近提出的压电应变层超晶格光学响应的飞秒时间尺度的研究为了了解它们的操作并评估它们作为光电子器件的有用性，超快电脉冲的产生及低维电子对超快电脉冲响应的研究。

The Department of Electrical Engineering at Princeton University will purchase high repetition rate laser pulse amplifier equipment under this Engineering Research Equipment Grant which will be dedicated to support research in engineering. The equipment will be used for several research projects, including in particular: (1) A study of ultrafast electronic processes and carrier relaxation in low dimensional semiconductor structures with the goal of applying the new knowledge gained from this work to understand the advantages and limitations of present optoelectronic devices and to develop new ones, (2) An investigation on a femtosecond time scale of the optical response of the recently proposed piezoelectric strained-layer superlattices in order to understand their operation and assess their usefulness as optoelectronic devices, and (3) Research on the generation of ultrafast electrical pulses and the response of low dimensional electrons to them.
