11. Developments for Improved Performance Vertical-Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers
Sammanfattning : The vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) is a type of laser diode that emits light from the surface of the chip from which it is manufactured rather than from a cleaved edge as so far has been common for most telecommunication lasers. VCSEL’s low cost, high power efficiency and low power consumption properties make it a very attractive signal source for many applications such as fiber optical communication, optical interconnects, 3D sensing, absorption spectroscopy, laser printing, etc. LÄS MER
12. Single Junction and Tandem Junction Nanowire Solar Cells
Sammanfattning : Solar cells based on silicon are successfully harvesting solar energy in established and increasingly widespread solar panels. However, their efficiency is limited by the Shockley–Queisser limit. For certain applications where high efficiency is the key figure of merit, the use of multi-junction solar cells is desirable.

13. Growth and Characterization of Tandem-Junction Photovoltaic Nanowires
Sammanfattning : In order to satisfy the growing energy needs of our planet’s population, and at the same time mitigate global warming, sustainable energy sources such as solar energy are indispensable. In addition to conventional silicon-based solar cells, nanotechnology offers interesting approaches for complementary applications. LÄS MER
14. Theoretical Investigation of Resonant-Tunneling Structures
Sammanfattning : Resonant-tunneling structures are generally of great interest, both for technological applications and for basic theoretical research. This work focuses on the Double-Barrier Resonant-Tunneling Structure (DBRTS). We investigate both unipolar and bipolar DBRTSs. LÄS MER
15. Compound semiconductor materials and processing technologies for photonic devices and photonics integration
Sammanfattning : The advancement of semiconductor optoelectronics relies extensively on materials and processing technologies of ever-increasing sophistication, such as nanometer-range lithography, epitaxial growth methods with monatomic layer control, and anisotropic etching procedures that allows for the precise sculpturing of device features even in the limit of extreme aspect ratios. However, upcoming application needs puts requirements on optimized designs or device performances, e. LÄS MER
