The research areas of my group are optoelectronic devices and photonic integrated circuits, and high-speed and RF/microwave devices and circuits. The optoelectronics research is in high speed lasers, laser amplifiers, optical modulators, dielectric rare earth doped waveguide lasers and amplifiers. We are also developing new techniques for modeling optical guides, which act as optical interconnects in photonic integrated circuits, and also modeling of lasers and laser amplifiers. The projects involve design, fabrication and testing of new devices, and integrated circuit concepts.
