Facilities available in Department of Photonics allow for research, development and testing of structures and semiconductor devices based on AIII-BV compounds. We provide services associated to each stage of the device fabrication:
- design and simulation of photonic devices using advanced computational tools (Matlab, PICS3D and APSYS company Crossligh, FIMMWAVE Photon Design)
- deposition of AIII-BV heterostructures by means of molecular beam epitaxy technique (two reactors of Riber: 32p and Compact 21T)
- post-growing characterisation of epitaxial structures
- high-resolution X-ray measurements
- spatially-resolved spectroscopic measurements (photoluminescence, reflectance)
- high resolution spectroscopic measurements (microphotoluminescence, microreflectance)
- electrical measurements (Hall effect)
- processing technology (polishing, photolithography, oxygen and plasma etching, deposition of metal and electric layers)
- device assembling (soldering, bonding, laser cheaps packaging)
- post-mounting characterization of the device and determination of its operating conditions (I-V, I-P characteristics)
- geometric and spectral characterization of laser radiation
- thermal testing of lasers (thermoreflectance measurements)
