Mid- and far-IR optoelectronic devices based on Bose-Einstein condensation (MIR-BOSE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

Optoelectronic devices typically operate in the weak coupling regime between light and matter, for example in conventional lasers relying on population inversion to achieve optical gain. Recently there has been a surge of interest in quantum systems operating instead in the strong coupling regime, when the coupling strength of the light-matter interaction is so strong that new states – cavity pola ...
