Bandgap Engineering of Quantum Semiconductor Microstructures

Abstract

unattainable with conventional methods of fabrication. This chapter provides a review of the laser-based methods for fabrication of quantum semiconductor microstructures with bandgap engineered at the atomic level. The discussion involves bandgap engineering by pulsed laser deposition and quantum well/ quantum dot intermixing techniques employing IR and UV lasers for the general area of application concerning monolithically integrated photonic devices.
