Seimconductor Optoelectronic Devices

亚里夫教授和他的同事是量子井激光器的创新者，量子井激光器在光电子系统中具有巨大的实际应用潜力。NSF支持这项早期工作，这里提出的研究是这一努力的延续。其中一个主要贡献将是对这些器件进行理论和实验研究，以实现阈值电流的大幅降低。由于与制造这些系统相关的材料问题，亚里夫博士在材料技术上投入了大量的精力、时间、金钱和精力来加强这项富有成效的研究。

Professor Yariv and his co-workers are the innovators of the quantum well laser, a device which has tremendous potential for practical application in opto-electronic systems. NSF supported this early work and the research proposed here is a continuation of this effort. One major contribution will be both the theoretical and experimental study of these devices in order to achieve a major reduction in the threshold current. Because of materials problem associated with fabrication of these systems, Dr. Yariv has devoted considerable commitment, time, money and effort into materials technology to enhance this productive research.
