Photonic Device Applications of Modulated-Reflectance Imaging

Promotional image for talk: Elements of a successful scientific talk

Speaker(s): Janice Hudgings

We have demonstrated a high-resolution (250nm, 10mK), non-contact modulated reflectance imaging technique which, in combination with an energy balance model, can be used for spatially resolved thermal, optical, and electrical metrology of optoelectronic devices. Applications include optical testing of photonic integrated circuits, current spreading and thermal management in light emitting diodes, thermal lensing in vertical cavity surface emitting lasers, and nondestructive testing of solar cells. Most recently, we have used this technique to examine carrier transport in organic field effect transistors.

Colloquium

Junior and senior physics majors attend our biweekly colloquium series, held on Tuesday afternoons at 4:30 p.m. in Shanahan B460. The talks are open to all students and to the public, and are frequently attended by scientists from the other Claremont Colleges, Cal Poly Pomona, and others. The series features speakers from a broad range of institutions and fields of physics.
