Photon10 Conference in Southampton, UK

This was most interesting conference at last i had a chance to meet the greats in the world of intellectuals who pioneered semiconductor technologies. From theoreticians to fabricators to those who analyse ever complex world of quantum physics. I met Prof. P. Blood who is one of the giants i found out he was a friend to my Profs Profs, Prof. Adams who is in the list of 10 most influencial brits. He suggested the use of strain in semiconductor devices to improve their performance in 1980s which led to billion pound industry.

Yes Blood was a critic on my findings of characteristic features of Quantum dot lasers. "Using High hydrostatic pressure i am able to alter the atomic spacing in the crystal lattice" i said. In doing so am able to change the effective band gap of the device and hence change its operation parameters which in turn gives me an insight of what is really going on in the LASER device.

After my presentation he was happy and was looking forward to my paper that will be published by APL Journal. Anyway the paper was published two month ago..it is called "Efficiency Limiting Processes in 1.55 micron InAs/InP-Based Quantum Dots Lasers". You can google it!!!

My aim is create Temperature insensitive laser device that can be used in long transmission optical communication systems.. what i am doing in simple english is create a laser that will not be affected by changes in temperature for systems like SEACOM fiber. the SEACOM fiber depend on whole load of lasers and modulators to send data that you see on your computer screen faster.
