Research
-
Theoretical investigations of the optical properties of
semiconductor structures and modeling of semiconductor lasers. Our
fundamental theoretical investigations of semiconductors are
based on microscopic quantum-mechanical many-body theories and
include ultrafast nonlinear optical
processes in bulk semiconductors and quantum-well structures. Recent
examples of research projects include electromagnetically-induced
transparency, slow light effects in semiconductor heterostructures,
nonlinear spectroscopy and applications of Bragg-spaced multiple
quantum wells, optical refrigeration of semiconductors, and optical
four-wave mixing instabilities in semiconductor quantum wells
systems, including microcavities.
