Objective
Objectives. The most known application of opto-electronic in the mid infrared (MIR) is for gas detection and sensing. New regulations on environment, for work-safe condition and pollution monitoring are strongly increasing the demand for environment control systems with very high level of sensitivity (ppbv) and selectivity which are only attainable by a compact technology based on semiconductor lasers emitting continuously (CW) at room temperature (RT). This conference is a forum in which scientists, industrials, young researchers and end-users can discuss key issues in mid-infrared electronics, such as the progress in MIR lasers, light emitting diodes, detectors and advanced sensors based on these devices. Several challenges are identified: above 3 µm and at RT there is no laser emitting continuously CW and detectors suffer from a lack of sensitivity and stability. As the spectral field is large, the enormous variety of advanced applications and the lack of a well-defined Mid-IR industrial technology, laboratories and industrials have produced an unfocused research. The main goal of this conference is to put all together scientists, young researchers, industrials and end-users to present the state of the art, the problems need to be overcome and fix the road map.
Content of the conference. Presented by selected and leading invited speakers (4 from US, 1 from Russia and 10 from EC): State of the art. Exploring the relationship between the needs of MIR sensors in opto-electronic devices and the possibilities of actual or future technology. What are the keys points to get over? How to obtain and control the highest quality material needs for MIR opto-electronics? New designs for RT components including: monomode laser diodes, intraband photo-detectors, monomode quantum cascade lasers, VCSELs, structured LEDs, optically pumped microlasers. Advanced concepts for gas sensing: cavity ring down spectroscopy (CRDS), external cavity VCSEL for internal cavity Jaser spectroscopy (ICLAS). Last and future developments by industrials and end-users. Trends and market for Mid-IR advanced sensors. Oral and posters sessions have been reserved for young researchers. They have the plenty of time to present recent results, halfway results, problems and research projects. Time for informal discussions between established scientists, industrials and young researchers.
