Florida Apex Photonic Center (FPCE) is a scientific research center based on the Institute of Optics. FPCE, established in 2003, is a cutting-edge scientific research center with the support of the Florida government of 654.38+million dollars. FPEC conducts scientific research and education in nano-photonics, bio-photonics, apex imaging, 3D imaging and ultra-wideband communication. Its scientific research results have produced huge economic benefits and far-reaching industry influence. The establishment of the center contributed 365,438+0 jobs and 40 patents, with a total economic return of 30 million US dollars.
Among them, relying on III-V molecular beam epitaxial growth, great progress has been made in the research of next generation semiconductor lasers, quantum dot lasers, vertical cavity surface emitting lasers, spontaneous emission light sources, single quantum dots and so on. The technology of oxide limiting light and electric field invented by semiconductor laser group has become the mainstream means to produce vertical cavity surface emitting lasers in industry. At present, the oxide-free vertical cavity surface emitting laser designed by the research group is triggering a new round of technological innovation in the semiconductor laser industry with its superior photoelectric and thermal characteristics.
