| The
optoelectronics group at Mount Holyoke College studies the device
physics of a range of semiconductor and organic devices, including semiconductor
lasers, amplifiers, OLEDS, and solar cells. We use high-resolution 2D and 3D thermal imaging to probe the internal physics of working optoelectronic devices. For example, thermal images can be used to quantify gain and absorption
parameters as well as to identify effects such as gain saturation
and facet heating in lasers, absorbers, and semiconductor optical
amplifiers. Thermal imaging can also be used for non-destructive testing, identifying defects and hot spots in working devices or advanced composite materials. |
