Fabrication and integration of superconductor single photon detector (SSPD) on Si/SiO2
waveguides. Superconductor material made of NbTiN film is sputtered on the wafer,
followed by a patterning process into a meander structure by electron-beam lithography
and inductively-coupled plasma etching.
Development of single photon emitter based on InGaN single quantum dot (QD) embedded
in a micro-size GaN pyramids for quantum cryptography and quantum information
processing applications. Optical spectroscopy were used intensively in this project to
identify the best QDs candidates for time correlation spectroscopy (HBT setup). In the
same time, a huge effort were employed in the fabrication side to connect the QDs
electrically.
Design and growth by MOCVD of Nitride based semiconductors solar cells. The advantage
of using InGaN based solar cells instead of conventional Si based one, is their
superior resistance to the cosmic particles bombardment. The project was financed by
MEP/NASA (The Mars Exploration Program).
Exploration of the intersubband properties of wide band gap semiconductors, namely GaN and AlGaN, in a broad spectral range from near-visible to THz frequencies. The goal was to engineer the quantum confinement of electrons in ultra thin quantum well layers in order to achieve intersubband optical resonances between the electron confined states and to develop a new class of optoelectronic devices such as quantum cascade detectors or lasers, in a broad spectral range from near-visible to far-infrared.
