Science / Technology - Colloquium
Monday, April 13, 2009
4:00 PM-5:00 PM
Olin Hall
107
MIT / Lincoln Laboratory has been continuously involved in the development of semiconductor laser sources since the very initial demonstrations of the diode laser in 1962. In this lecture, a historical overview of the various semiconductor laser efforts at MIT / Lincoln Laboratory will be presented, with an emphasis on the evolution of mid-infrared (2-5 µm) semiconductor laser technology. Results from both electrically-pumped and optically-pumped semiconductor laser structures will be reviewed. Recent results and new research directions in mid-infrared, high-power quantum cascade lasers, operating near room temperature, will also be discussed.
