Theory of pulse propagation and ultrafast nonlinear response in semiconductor optical amplifiers with distributed feedback. The aim of this project is to study the ultrafast nonlinear response in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA) that incorporate a nonperiodic effective index pattern along the length of the device active region. The photonics theory group have developed new approaches to designing refractive index profiles with tailored group velocity. These profiles can provide multi-wavelength ..... (continued)

Applications are invited for a post-doctoral researcher in condensed matter theory to join a major programme funded by Science Foundation Ireland to investigate the fundamental properties of future photonic materials and devices. As part of that project, we have developed tight-binding and envelope function models which lead understanding of the electronic and optoelectronic properties of extreme semiconductor alloys such as GaNxAs1-x. GaNAs is an example of a novel class of semiconductor alloy where ..... (continued)

Semiconductor quantum dots give atom-like energy levels in a semiconductor material. This project aims to investigate the electronic structure of QDs, its consequences for gain and loss mechanisms in devices, and approaches to the design of devices which will optimize the device gain, while also suppressing the intrinsic loss mechanisms. It is part of a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of QD materials development. We seek to expand the wavelength range accessible to QDs into the mid ..... (continued)
