This Small Business Technology Transfer Research Phase I project is directed toward the development of a high-efficiency and high-power AlGaN-based semiconductor light emitting diode (LED), operating at 300nm or shorter, for a wide range of applications including air and water purification, polymer curing, fluorescent spectroscopy, secure optical communications and biological and chemical hazard monitoring. These devices will be developed using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) for low-cost and high-yield production on large-diameter substrates. Aluminum Gallium Nitride UltraViolet optical sources offer the possibility of compact, light-weight, low-cost, low-power-consumption optoelectronic systems that would enable a new generation of systems for applications that include biodetection, non-line-of-sight covert communications, sterilization, and air and water purification. If a low-cost and long-life LEDs with UV light emission below 280 nm is developed the application to water purification alone could represent a very large market.This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).

该小型企业技术转让研究第一阶段项目旨在开发一种高效率和高功率的AlGaN基半导体发光二极管（LED），其工作波长为300 nm或更短，应用范围广泛，包括空气和水净化，聚合物固化，荧光光谱，安全光通信以及生物和化学危害监测。这些器件将使用分子束外延（MBE）在大直径衬底上进行低成本和高产量生产。氮化铝镓紫外线光源提供了紧凑，重量轻，低成本，低功耗的光电系统的可能性，这将使新一代系统的应用，包括生物检测，非视线隐蔽通信，消毒，空气和水净化。如果开发出低成本和长寿命的LED，其紫外光发射低于280 nm，那么仅在水净化方面的应用就可以代表一个非常大的市场。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。
