Optoelectronics Research Center
A posdoc conducting experimental physics, optics and semiconductor physics requested the following quote:
We are interested in double side polished SiC wafer you offer on your homepage. ID 1801. Could you please make an offer for us (we need this for our ordering system)? See contact data below. We are interested in one piece.
Would it be possible to send us also a cross polarization measurement (or photograph) of the wafer beforehand, which means holding the wafer in front of a standard LCD computer display, white background, and then before that a linear polarizer, then sending us a photo of that?
Looking forward to the quote and the data. Cross polarization data are even more importand.

What Kind of Research is Conducted at Optoelectronic Labs
At university labs, students and researchers dive deep into optoelectronics, exploring how we can better harness light for advanced tech like sensors and emitters. Optoelectronics blends the science of light with electronic tech, giving us tools that both create and interpret light signals. Here are some key areas of research typically found in these labs:
-
Photonics and Laser Technology : Research in photonics involves the generation, manipulation, and 
detection of light. In photonics, we're pushing boundaries by crafting new laser tech, unraveling how lasers chat with materials, and inventing gadgets that revolutionize everything from global communication to spotting health issues.
-
Optical Communication : This involves the use of light (often lasers) to transmit information over distances. Pioneers in the field are tweaking how we send info using light, making it faster and packing more into each pulse through those glassy strands that tie our digital world together.
-
Quantum Optics and Quantum Computing : In quantum optics, we dive into how light behaves on a subatomic scale—it's like getting under the hood of physics to see what makes things tick. Investigating the quantum realm could lead to crafting computers of a new kind, using qubits that tackle data in ways we haven't seen before, possibly flipping the whole game on its head when it comes to what machines can do and how safe our information is.
-
Harnessing sunlight through photovoltaics transforms it into power, much like a story in our minds takes shape from words on a page. : Our study delves into how solar cells can transform sunlight directly into electrical power. We're working hard to boost how well solar cells turn light into power and to cut what they cost.
-
Optical Sensors and Imaging : Light-based sensors are revolutionizing the way we capture and analyze data, from peering into the human body to keeping an eye on our planet's health or streamlining factory operations.
-
Delving into material science for optoelectronics means exploring cutting-edge stuff—think new semiconductors or nanostructures—that's built to shine, sense, and tweak light in the coolest ways. : In the realm of optoelectronics, we're digging into new materials—think cutting-edge semiconductors, versatile organic compounds, and tiny nanostructures—to make sure they're up to snuff for high-tech tasks like lighting up our screens, spotting incoming signals, or controlling light with precision.
-
Integrated Optics and Optoelectronic Integration : Research in integrated optics focuses on miniaturizing optical devices and integrating them onto chips, similar to electronic circuits. So, we're talking about shrinking down optical tech and slapping it onto chips for stuff like crunching data or picking up on subtle changes in the environment.
-
In nonlinear optics, the medium's reaction to light shifts with intensity, much like a book-based movie might deviate from our mental storyboard—both are shaped by the energy we bring to them. : Nonlinear optics digs into how light acts differently when it hits certain materials, changing up based on how intense the light is. In this realm, we're looking at how light can be smartly directed to switch paths, shift its frequency up or down, and even create incredibly brief laser bursts.
-
Merging the worlds of high-tech optics and biology, bio-optoelectronics shapes cutting-edge tools for diagnosing illnesses, exploring new treatments, and pushing forward scientific discovery. : Merging the worlds of light-based tech and biology, this field crafts tools for digging into medical mysteries—from scanning body depths with OCT to lighting up cells under a microscope.
Each university optoelectronic lab may have its specific focus areas, depending on the expertise of the faculty and the available facilities. At the heart of every optoelectronic lab, there's a drive to break new ground in how we use light and electronics, paving the way for groundbreaking tech and its future uses.
Sapphire Wafers With Flat Surface for Bonding Purposes
A PhD in Optical Science and Engineering requested a quote for the following:
I'm looking for low roughness sapphire wafers to do van der Waals bonding onto. The two most important aspects are the roughness to increase bond quality, and thermal conductivity for the optoelectronics applications. Do you have any suggestions? The preferable size would be 5mmx5mmx0.5mm samples. If this is possible, please quote me for quantities 1,10,25,and 50.
