Mid-IR Laboratory Operation, Maintenance and Theory Support

Abstract

This report summarizes the technical activity provided under task order 0015 of the SLIDERS contract. This task provided for semiconductor material processing and characterization expertise for a mid-IR semiconductor laser development laboratory, as well as computer modeling and theoretical analysis of mid-IR semiconductor laser materials and device designs. The goal of this effort was to increase the power, brightness and operating temperature of mid-IR semiconductor lasers and laser arrays. Under this task we continued the development of a semiconductor laser processing and characterization laboratory, which was used to evaluate numerous prototype laser samples and materials. Processing improvements continued which enabled us to provide better quality and repeatable laser devices.
