Welcome
to the Solid State Devices research group at the University of Oklahoma.
We perform research in a number of areas related to development of mid-infrared
optoelectronic devices as well as development of applications for these
devices. Specific research areas include semiconductor
materials growth and characterization, laser
fabrication, and tunable
laser spectroscopy. This web site contains links to publications
from our group, a photo gallery
of our laboratories, and examples of molecular absorption spectra in the
mid-infrared spectral range. Our group has been active in this research
area since 1991, and a significant outcome of our work includes the spin-out
of EkipsTechnologies
(www.breathmeter.com) a start-up company based in Norman, OK that is
applying mid-infrared laser technology in development of breath analysis
instruments for diagnosis and monitoring of diseases such as asthma. The
research behind this technology-transfer success was a Highlight
on NSF's web site in October 2002 and was covered by
optics.org and in Laser
Focus World.
