Prof. Dr. Peter Michler
Director of the Institut für Halbleiteroptik und Funktionelle Grenzflächen, University of Stuttgart
Participating in the following Rounds:
Semiconductor Optics
The main research direction of the institute concerns the fabrication, characterization and study of new kinds of non-classical light sources, e.g. single-photon and entangled-photon sources and different kinds of semiconductor lasers. A special focus lies on their quantum optical properties and their applications in quantum information technology. Further goals are the study of resonator quantum electrodynamics effects in semiconductors. Here an ultimate goal is to develop methods to couple two or more quantum dots via high-quality modes of photonic cavities. We also have a strong effort on the epitaxial growth of semiconductors (MOVPE, arsenides, phospides, nitrides) and their structuring to novel photonic devices and circuits.
