Case Study
Silicon-based III-V quantum dot laser
The facility has developed high-performance semiconductor lasers monolithically grown on silicon, by exploiting unique properties of III-V quantum dots (August 2023).

The narrow optical band-gaps of antimonides play a key role in the development of next generation of infrared (IR) detectors
