Dr. Zhang and Dr. Ju Attend SPIE Photonics West 2024

Dr. Yong-Hang Zhang and Dr. Zheng Ju recently participated in the prestigious SPIE Photonics West (PW 2024) conference in San Francisco, CA. This globally recognized event is renowned for its focus on cutting-edge photonics technologies, including lasers, biomedical optics, biophotonics, quantum, and optoelectronics. Dr. Zhang delivered an invited talk titled “Material properties and applications of InAs/InAsSb type-II superlattice in IR lasers and photodetectors,” while Dr. Zheng Ju presented on “Optically-Addressed Monolithically-Integrated Multi-band Photodetectors Using Type-II Superlattice Materials.”
                                                                                                                                                                                    
Additionally, during their visit to San Francisco, Dr. Zhang, Dr. Ju, and Nathan Rosenblatt had the opportunity to reconnect with alumni of our research groups. Among those they met were Uli Koelle, Jingjing Li, Calli Campbell, Cheng-Ying Tsai, Yichen Shuai, and Wen-Cheng Sun.

Group Attends the 37th North American Molecular Beam Epitaxy (NAMBE) Conference

Dr. Yong-Hang Zhang, Zheng Ju, Tyler McCarthy, Allison McMinn, and Xiaoyang Liu participated in the 37th North American Conference on Molecular Beam Epitaxy (NAMBE 2023). Zheng Ju delivered an outstanding talk titled: ‘Optically-Addressed Monolithically-Integrated Multi-band Photodetectors Using Type-II Superlattice Materials’ during this conference.

Tyler McCarthy presented an excellent poster with the title: ‘Molecular Beam Epitaxy Grown Group-IV Alloys for Infrared Photodetector and Quantum Transport Applications’ during the exhibition. Dr. Zhang, serving as the Advisory Board Chair of NAMBE, hosted the conference’s opening and awards ceremony.

 

The 37th North American Conference on Molecular Beam Epitaxy (NAMBE 2023) is a prominent international forum for reporting scientific and technological developments in Molecular Beam Epitaxy research. The conference covers a wide range of cutting-edge research in materials, including II-VI and III-V compound semiconductors, oxides, nitrides, perovskites, and new nanomaterials. The synthesis and characterization of these materials using MBE are central to the conference’s focus. Additionally, the design and characterization of corresponding devices are important components of the conference. Furthermore, a variety of cross-disciplinary research topics were discussed, including AI-controlled MBE growth.” NAMBE is scheduled to be held in Boston next year, and we eagerly anticipate the participation of our research team members, hoping to achieve even more exciting results.

 

 

Event of the Center for Photonics Innovation Was Successfully Held

Our research team successfully hosted a conference for the Photonics Innovation Center. This gathering featured representatives from the United States Navy, Arizona State University, and researchers from the industrial sector. Together, they engaged in discussions on cutting-edge research and achievements in semiconductor photonic devices. The conference encompassed topics such as metasurfaces, novel semiconductor materials, photodetectors spanning multiple wavelengths including infrared and ultraviolet, and innovative solar cells.

Following the conference, numerous discussions were held with researchers, yielding promising collaborative projects. We aspire to achieve gratifying outcomes through these prospective collaborations in the future.

 

 

                                 

 

 

Congratulations to Dr. Zheng Ju on his successful PhD defense

Congratulations to Dr. Zheng Ju on his successful Ph.D. defense entitled “MBE Growth of Semiconductor Quantum Structures with Type-II Band Alignment and CdSe Thin Films for Device Applications”. Zheng will stay in our group to work as a postdoc. We are looking forward to making more progress in the future with Dr.Zheng Ju in the future.
