Semi-classical and Quantum Transport for High Speed and High Power Electronic and Opto-electronic Devices

Abstract

High speed power electronics and opto-electronics are central to a great number of Air Force and commercial applications. Software defined radio, cellular and satellite communications, missile transmitters, and defense-related radar are just a few examples of immediate technological requirements that make great demands on the power and frequency bandwidth of electronic components and circuits [16]. Other important applications such as optical communications, laser detection and ranging (ladar), laser imaging, diagnostics, material processing, and infrared countermeasures place stringent requirements on high power, high speed optical sources and detectors [7, 8]. Maintaining Air Force technological superiority requires exploiting applications like these to their fullest potentials.
