U.S.-France Cooperative Research: Towards Silicon-Based Unipolar Lasers

9815775Kolodze这个为期三年的奖项将支持特拉华大学的James Kolodzey和巴黎大学奥赛分校基础电子研究所的Jean-Michel Lourtioz之间的美法合作研究。研究人员正在合作一种方法，利用不同半导体之间的异质结接触来控制电子和光学设备的量子操作。到目前为止，他们的研究表明，一种新的、改进的激光器有可能与计算机的硅基电路兼容。这位美国研究人员将设备制造、电气和材料表征方面的专业知识带到了这次合作中。法国在分析、光学和低温测量方面的专业知识补充了这一点。他们的共同努力将促进对光学设备的基本理解，并可能导致更快、更强大的计算机的发展。

9815775KolodzeyThis three-year award will support US-France collaborative research between James Kolodzey of the University of Delaware and Jean-Michel Lourtioz of the Institute of Fundamental Electronics at the University of Paris in Orsay. The investigators are collaborating on an approach using the heterojunction contacts between dissimilar semiconductors to control the quantum operation of electrical and optical devices. Thus far, their research indicates the possibility of a new, improved laser compatible with the silicon-based circuits of computers. The US investigator brings to this collaboration expertise in device fabrication, and electrical and materials characterization. This is complemented by French expertise in analysis, optical and low temperature measurements. Their combined efforts will advance fundamental understanding of optical devices and could lead to the development of faster, more powerful computers.
