Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
 
Description Conventional VCSOAs based on GaInNAs/GaAs for electrical pumping require very sophisticated fabrication techiques, with a small gain. Optical pumping appears to give the best results. Best GaInNAs VCSOA devices operated by electrical injection are based on a design that utilizes longitudinal transport.
Exploitation Route It may be used by industry in telecom applications Publication in scientific journals, presentation at high profile conferences
Sectors Electronics
