STTR Phase I: Developing Coupled Quantum Dot Multi-Functional Materials for Optoelectronics Integrated Circuits (OEIC)

这个小企业技术转让第一阶段项目是展示一种新的耦合量子点（CQD）多功能材料。电子隧穿和量子点间耦合效应将被分析。将模拟新CQD材料的可调谐能带。成功进行拟议的研究将提供一个使能多功能CQD材料平台，允许在单个芯片上集成激光器，电光（EO）调制器和光电探测器。这种单片集成不仅可以减小光子系统的尺寸和重量，而且可以大大降低光学对准成本，提高系统的可靠性。该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。

This Small Business Technology Transfer Phase I project is to demonstrate a new Coupled Quantum Dot (CQD) multifunctional material. Electron-tunneling and inter-quantum dot coupling effects will be analyzed. The tunable energy bands of the new CQD material will be simulated. Successfully performing the proposed research will provide an enabling multifunctional CQD material platform that allows the monolithic integratation of lasers, electro-optic (EO) modulators, and photodetectors on a single chip. Such monolithic integration will not only minimize the size and weight of photonic system, but also substantially reduce the optical alignment cost and enhance the system reliability. This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).
