III–V Epi’s CTO Richard Hogg chairing International Workshop on PCSELs
Professor Richard Hogg, chief technical officer at III–V Epi Ltd of Glasgow, Scotland, UK — which provides a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) service for custom compound semiconductor wafer design, manufacturing, test and characterization — is chairing the International Workshop on PCSELs 2024 (7–8 November) at Aston University’s Aston Institute of Photonics Technology (AIPT), where Hogg is Professor of Photonics.
The workshop’s keynote speaker is Susumu Noda (Professor of Electronic Science and Engineering at Japan’s Kyoto University), who is a pioneer of PCSEL (photonic-crystal surface-emitting laser) research.
“PCSELs are a new and evolving semiconductor laser offering many performance and manufacturing advantages over incumbent laser technologies. The lasers can benefit a wide range of applications, from smart manufacturing, ICT, LiDAR, face recognition, to medical, healthcare, telecoms and datacoms,” notes Hogg. “Professor Noda is a world authority in PCSEL research,” he adds. “This will be followed by further presentations from other leading researchers from around the world. Attendees will also discuss results and share ideas on device engineering, manufacturing and new applications. As CTO of III-V Epi, I will bring PCSEL manufacturing experience to those discussions.”
AIPT is one of over 80 photonic research centers worldwide. It actively collaborates with industrial and commercial partners, including Airbus, IBM, Infinera, Thales, BAE Systems, and Nokia Bell Labs.
