The Semiconductor Lasers and Devices Division (SLDD), a part of the Laser Group, is involved in a broad range of research and development activities related to semiconductor materials and devices. The division primarily focuses on the development of advanced light emitters and detectors based on conventional III–V and III–N semiconductor materials, along with exploring emerging quantum technologies. It also investigates fundamental physical phenomena in semiconductor epitaxial layers, heterostructures, quantum wells, quantum dots, and nanostructures using a combination of optical, electrical, and structural characterization techniques. The division is equipped with state-of-the-art ultrafast pump–probe facilities for studying carrier dynamics and excitonic processes in two-dimensional materials at both room and low temperatures. In addition, the Theory and Simulations group conducts theoretical and computational studies of advanced physical systems using ab-initio methods such as Density Functional Theory to analyze the electronic, structural, and optical properties studies on nanomaterials, atomic clusters, gas adsorption, and quantum optical systems.
