Optoelectronic devices are crucial in modern technology, enabling advancements in telecommunications, consumer electronics, medical devices, and renewable energy solutions. They integrate optics and electronics to manipulate and control light, contributing significantly to the development of efficient and sophisticated electronic systems.

“It's up to one's imagination where this might go or where this might end up.” Research at NREL, now published in Nature Portfolio, is advancing optoelectronic devices to new territory. Our researchers have transformed an existing commercialized LED into one that also controls the spin of electrons. The results provide a pathway toward transforming modern optoelectronics, a field that relies on the control of light and encompasses #LEDs, #solar cells, and #telecommunications lasers among other devices.

Breakthrough in Optoelectronics: New Method Analyzes 14 Semiconductor Parameters in One Go Revolutionizing material characterization for solar cells, LEDs, and beyond! HZB physicist, Dr. Artem Musiienko, has developed a game-changing method called "Constant Light-Induced Magneto-Transport (CLIMAT)" that measures 14 crucial parameters of both positive and negative charge carriers in semiconductors with a single measurement. This eliminates time-consuming individual measurements and offers unprecedented insights into charge transport mechanisms. Benefits: Faster evaluation of new materials for optoelectronic applications Deeper understanding of charge carrier behavior in diverse materials (silicon, perovskites, etc.) Compact, portable instrument in development for easy deployment CLIMAT has the potential to significantly accelerate advancements in optoelectronics, paving the way for next-generation solar cells, LEDs, and more! https://lnkd.in/dAUj3xyM #optoelectronics #semiconductors #innovation #research #CLIMAT #HZB #photonics #PhotonicSpots #PhotonicsTimes Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin

Lightwave electronics is driving information processing beyond current classical limitations and has the potential to eventually reach petahertz frequencies. One of the major obstacles in reaching not only higher switching frequencies but also higher repetition rates with low-power light sources is the efficiency of related devices. In this work, using engineered multilayered materials, we could show more than an order of magnitude improvement in converting light to electric current. This brings us closer to pushing electronics to its ultimate speed limit (the speed of light). #science #research #electronics #nanophotonics #photonics #materials https://lnkd.in/gVKPhYtR

Schlieren, Switzerland, March 11th, 2024. EXALOS, the world’s leading manufacturer of Superluminescent Light-Emitting Diodes (SLEDs), has expanded its product portfolio in the red wavelength range with new broadband SLEDs at 633 nm, 638 nm and 680 nm, in addition to its well-established SLEDs at 650 nm. The new 633nm SLEDs deliver a broad optical spectrum with a 3dB bandwidth of 5-7 nm and with a highly polarized free-space output power of 10-15 mW, making them ideal sources for various interferometry applications at the HeNe wavelength of 632.8 nm. These new SLEDs will be also available in 14pin BTF modules with single-mode (SM) or polarization-maintaining (PM) fibers. Due to advanced semiconductor processes developed over the past few years, EXALOS is now able to offer high-power 638nm SLEDs and LDs with a free-space output power of up to 50 mW. This new generation of high-power, single-mode red superluminescent and laser diodes will support various high-end applications, including display and AR/VR architectures. At the upper end of the red emission spectrum, EXALOS is now offering broadband SLEDs at 680 nm with a broad bandwidth of 10 nm, available as 14pin BTF modules with either SMF or PMF output. These devices offer excellent long-term stability and reliability, making them suitable for various industrial applications that require light sources for 24/7 operation over several years.
