Subtle changes to the composition of a semiconductor structure enable laser light at colors previously not thought possible.
Davide Priante defends his MS thesis- The Recombination Mechanism and True Green Amplified Spontaneous Emission in CH3NH3PbBr3 Perovskite.
Boon Ooi, KAUST Professor of Electrical Engineering, Nobel laureate Shuji Nakamura from the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) and a team of researchers from King Abdulaziz City of Science and Technology (KACST) are working to provide energy-efficient lighting to the world.
The first demonstration of an InGaP/InAlGaP- based orange laser emitting at 608 nm has been reported by the Photonics Laboratory. Using a cost effective approach, the work is aimed at filling a wavelength gap in the visible spectrum for commercial semiconductor lasers, enabling a wide range of uses including lighting and VLC.
In the last issue of Electronics Letters of 9th July 2015 Vol.51 No.14 a team of researchers coordinated by Prof. Boon Ooi, director the Photonics Laboratory at King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST), presented a phosphide-based laser structure that can operate in the orange wavelengths at room temperature.
The objective of the joint KAUST-IEMN/UVHC workshop is to provide a forum for interaction between the leading scientists who are at the cutting edge of nanotechnology and photonics, and the faculty at KAUST and other institutions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The workshop is supported in part by KAUST and IEMN/UVHC
Hsien-Yu Liao (Patrick) has defended his MS work on Fabrication and Characterization of Micro-Membrane GaN Light Emitting Diodes! The thesis committee is chaired by Prof. Boon Ooi (KAUST), including the members of Prof. Fan Ren (University of Flordia), Prof. Muhammad M. Hussain (KAUST), and Prof. Jr-Hau He (KAUST).
Researchers in USA and Saudi Arabia have been producing 610nm-wavelength red lasers with III-nitride nanowires grown on silicon. With a view to plastic fiber optical communication, potential applications include mobile projectors, head-up displays in automobiles, and photodynamic therapy. Production on silicon promises lower-cost production and mass manufacturing.
Head of the Photonics lab Boon S. Ooi presents a talk at the 3rd Saudi International Electronics, Communications and Photonics Conference (SIECPC) 2015, held at KACST, Riyadh during April 27-28, 2015.
