MIOMDSep 05, 2010 - Sep 09, 20108:00:AM - 5:00:PM Shanghai, China The mid-infrared spectral region covers the wavelength range between 2 to 25 μm and contains the fundamental fingerprint absorption bands of almost all poly-atomic molecules of practical interest. In recent years, there have been pioneering breakthroughs and rapid progress in the field of Mid-Infrared Optoelectronics: Materials and Devices. Mid-IR lasers have developed from a few individual wavelengths to covering a continuous series of wavelength range. CW mode operation at or beyond room temperature for mid-IR F-P lasers with high power and single mode lasers with wide continuously tunable wavelength range have been demonstrated. New structures for lasers, light-emitting diodes, and detectors have been proposed and demonstrated. Improved optoelectronic devices have been used in applications such as environmental monitoring and medical imaging. However, we are still facing the challenges with the ultimate goal of enabling mid-infrared optoelectronics as a mainstream technology. |
