Modern Optoelectronics On III-Nitrides

Objective

Using wide-band gap III-Nitrides, blue LEDs, blue lasers, and solar-blind detectors have been successfully demonstrated to date. III-N platform is, however, not limited only to these devices; it potentially offers new devices, applications, and commercial interest far beyond the current point. In this project, we propose to demonstrate new III-N optoelectronic devices that embody nano-scale quantum structures and/or incorporate multiple integrated micro-scale components to operate in the optical spectral ran ge from the visible to the UV at Bilkent NanoTRC. One set of new devices includes III-N, high-speed, quantum electro-absorption modulators for fast data coding and ultra-short pulse generation across the UV-visible. These will enable high-speed optical interconnects and clock injection directly into Si CMOS detectors and chips (at >10 Gbps), e.g. in the blue, by eliminating the diffusion tail observed in the IR. They will also be useful for UV communication (space and underwater), time-resolved spectroscopy in biological and chemical agent detection (ozone depletion, security-threatening anthrax and SARS), and high-speed, high-capacity data storage on Blue DVD. Another set of devices includes III-N integrated optoelectronic circuits. For example, a GaN-based receiver may replace the photo-multiplier-tube (PMT) technology by reaching the PMT sensitivity and providing unprecedented speed. Upon returning from the USA to Turkey, this project will facilitate Dr. Demir to transfer the knowledge and experience he has acquired on quantum structures, integrated optoelectronic circuits, ultra-fast optoelectronics characterization, micro-fabrication and process integration during his last 6 years of research work in collaboration with Intel Co. at Stanford University. W ith its new MOCVD system, NanoTRC provides a complete infrastructure for III-N epitaxial growth and nanofabrication. This project is expected to fertilize Dr. Demir's reintegration to the Center and EU.
