CAREER: Compound-Semiconductor Oxides for Integrated Optoelectronics

9502705霍尔新的光电结构将使用一种革命性的新的含铝合金半导体氧化技术（砷化铝镓（AlGaAs）的“原生”氧化物）制造。 平面波导透镜、掩埋条形波导和集成激光源将成为OEIC进一步发展的有用“积木”元件。 这些元件将应用于实现新颖的和更高性能的集成主振荡器功率放大器（MOPA）设备。" 两个新的光电子学/光子学课程将在圣母大学开发，借鉴了PI在伊利诺伊大学半导体激光器实验研究的背景，以及作为海军研究实验室博士后研究员对高功率MOPA设备和新光学技术的研究。 新的本科现代光子学实验室课程的目的是让老年人接触当今商业领域重要的光子学技术的广泛范围，同时向他们介绍当前的光电子学研究进展（将作为特殊项目纳入），这些进展有望成为未来的领先技术。 研究生光电器件课程将填补圣母大学课程的重要需求，并作为核心课程，为研究生加入新的光电子研究工作做好准备。 ***

9502705 Hall New optoelectronic structures will be fabricated using a revolutionary new oxidation technology for aluminum-bearing alloy semiconductors (the "native" oxide of aluminum-gallium-arsenide (AlGaAs)). The planar waveguide lenses, buried strip waveguides, and integrated laser sources to be developed will be useful "building block" components broadly applicable in the further evolution of OEICs. These components will be applied for the realization of novel and higher-performance integrated master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) devices." Two new optoelectronics/photonics courses will be developed at Notre Dame by drawing on the PI's background of experiment research in semiconductor lasers at the University of Illinois, and research on high-power MOPA devices and new optical techniques for their characterization as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Naval Research Laboratory. The aim of the new undergraduate Modern Photonics laboratory course is to expose seniors to the broad span of photonics technologies important in today's commercial sector, while introducing them to current optoelectronics research advances (to be incorporated as special projects) which promise to be the leading technologies of the future. The graduate Optoelectronics Devices course will fill an important need in the curriculum at Notre Dame and serve as a core course to prepare graduate students to join in the new optoelectronics research efforts. ***
