Optoelectronics at Imperial encompasses a wide range of applications, techniques and materials type. Our work spans inorganic semiconductors such as silicon or III-V compounds, through to ferroelectric oxides and cheap “plastic” organic semiconductors. Typical questions we are trying to address are for example low energy lighting, new types of lasers, as well as solar cells (more detailed in their own section). Another example of our activities is teraherz spectroscopy can also be used in security applications.
