Our research focuses on semiconductor materials and devices for advanced photonics, targeting applications in space, quantum technologies, communication, imaging, and sensing.
EQuIP Lab adheres to the central research theme of “engineering quantum-limited particles such as electrons and photons” to enhance the performance of photonic devices. We employ four interrelated engineering strategies, as outlined below:
- Material Engineering (Exotic Element and Alloys)
- Band Engineering (Heterostructure/Quantum Engineered Materials)
- Interface Engineering (Heterogeneous Integration)
- Field Engineering (Pattern/Architecture)
Research Flow
As shown in the figure below, our research involves a cyclic process of iterating through device design and modeling, materials growth, device fabrication, and device characterization. This iterative approach builds scientific understanding and effectively translates it into high-performance devices.
