Hybrid Photonics Expands Capabilities

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
The integration of various new materials with and beyond silicon may lead to improvements in data centers, photovoltaic cells, x-ray machines, and displays.

HANK HOGAN, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

Alone, nothing is perfect. So when various materials in photonics applications work in tandem, a better performing hybrid approach arises, and teamwork prevails. Examples of such hybrid photonics can be found in existing and emerging commercial products. However, to successfully compete with incumbent technologies, hybrids must integrate different materials and simultaneously achieve required performance and reliability. Hybrid organic-inorganic metal-halide perovskites can be used in displays. The material produces various colors depending on chemical composition. Courtesy of Helio...Read full article

    quantum dots
    A quantum dot is a nanoscale semiconductor structure, typically composed of materials like cadmium selenide or indium arsenide, that exhibits unique quantum mechanical properties. These properties arise from the confinement of electrons within the dot, leading to discrete energy levels, or "quantization" of energy, similar to the behavior of individual atoms or molecules. Quantum dots have a size on the order of a few nanometers and can emit or absorb photons (light) with precise wavelengths,...
