Communications Research GroupGroup Leader: Professor Alex Wai (7 Staff Members)

The Thin Film and Optoelectronics Research Group focuses on applied experimental and theoretical research for the development of modern semiconductor optoelectronic devices. One of its major areas of investigation studies III-V nitride-based devices for applications such as light emitters, detectors, and modulators.

Selected Current Projects• Fabrication and characterization of GaN-

based UV detectors and Light emitters• Non-destructive measurement of

longitudinal dispersion of an optical fiber• Optimum design of dispersion profile of

an optical communication system• Realization of high-density information

storage using ferroelectric thin films
