Funded Activity Summary

Dual wavelength quantum dot light detectors. This project aims to develop technologies to fabricate advanced electronic materials based on gallium antimonide (GaSb), to explore their physics and use them in improved optoelectronic devices. GaSb technology is in its infancy, therefore basic and applied research is needed to utilise these materials to their full potential for long wavelength photonic devices with unique promise in military and civilian applications: fire detection, missile and surveillance systems, environmental monitoring, biology and medicine. As an outcome, growth protocols for innovative device structures will be established, the structures' behaviour assessed and device fabrication and characterisation carried out and reported.
