Field of Study

  • Design, Growth and fabrication of 1.55 mm and 1.3 mm InGaAsP semiconductor lasers as multi - wavelength sources for WDM optical fiber communication. (Reference 1.)
  • Microfabricated semiconductor photonic bandgap structures--theory and device fabrication. (Reference 2.)
  • Effect of dispersive propagation in fibers on intensity noise and modulation response of semiconductor lasers. (References 3, 4.)
  • Growth and characterization of photorefractive crystals for optical storage and optical interconnect applications. (Reference 5.)
  • Photon number squeezing of the output of semiconductor lasers. (Reference 7.)
  • Development of a locally invented new ultra high speed (>20 Ghz) A/D converter employing hybrid optical/electronic approach.
  • Fiber grating WDM filters for optical communication. (Reference 8.)
  • Quantum Well Physics. (References 9, 10.)
