THz electro-optics of nitride semiconductors: a feasibility study
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Manchester
Department Name: Electrical and Electronic Engineering
Abstract
Nitride semiconductors are used to make mass produced white and blue Light emitting diodes. The researchers propose to use a source of intense high frequency radio waves (terahertz), available at the university of califonia, to modulate the wavelength of light emission from such devices. Since it is possible to detect visible light using very sensitive (photon counting) technologies the effects of such studies will open up routes to detect such radio waves with extreme sensitivity. This will impact in many areas such as astronomy, telecommunication, medical imaging.....
