§ Multiple Quantum Well Structures
Research performed in our group is covered by the field broadly described as
Atomic Condensed Matter Physics in the optical energy range. It touches the
interdisciplinary boundaries of Quantum Optics, Laser Physics, Materials
Physics, Chemical Physics and Photonics. Our research efforts are
directed towards gaining a better understanding of solids at the atomic level
and the physical processes that are initiated when electromagnetic radiation
interacts with matter. The ultimate goal is to exploit the condensed matter at
the atomic scale in future applications miniaturizing photonics and
electro-optics devices. Potential applications of our research include:
high-density frequency domain optical storage, quantum computing, wide band
optical communication, and semiconductor photonic devices, etc. Our research
activities are divided between designing, fabricating and atomically tailoring
exotic materials, on one hand, and performing high frequency and time
resolution studies to investigate optical, electro-optical and magneto-optical
properties of these materials. Recently, we have been studying rare earth doped
II-VI and III-V materials in the form of micro-particles, nano-particles,
thin films and multiple quantum well structures. These materials both undoped and doped with optically active ions are designed,
synthesized, fabricated, and processed in our labs. A detailed list of current
research topics appears in the section on research
interests.
