| The
optoelectronics group at Mount Holyoke College studies the device
physics of a range of semiconductor devices, including semiconductor
lasers, amplifiers, and solar cells. We use high-resolution 2D thermal imaging to probe the internal physics of working optoelectronic devices, quantifying gain and absorption
parameters as well as identifying effects such as gain saturation
and facet heating in lasers, absorbers, and semiconductor optical
amplifiers. A second project examines the effect of optical feedback
on the stability and polarization behavior of vertical-cavity
surface-emitting lasers. |
