III-V Epi CTO to chair International Workshop on PCSELs
Richard Hogg, the CTO of III-V Epi, will chair this year’s ‘International Workshop on PCSELs, 2024’ with keynote speaker Susumu Noda of Kyoto University,
The workshop will be hosted in the UK at Aston University’s Institute of Photonics Technology (AIPT), on the 7th and 8th November, where Hogg is professor of photonics.
Keynote speaker Susumu Noda, a professor of Electronic Science and Engineering, at Kyoto University, is a world-renowned pioneer of PCSEL (Photonic Crystal Surface-Emitting Lasers) research and a leading authority in the industry.
Hogg, said: “It is a privilege to chair this year’s PCSEL workshop. PCSELs are a new and evolving, semiconductor laser offering many performance and manufacturing advantages over incumbent, laser technologies. The lasers can benefit a wide range of applications, from smart manufacturing, ICT, LiDAR, face recognition, to medical, healthcare, telecoms, and datacoms.
"Professor Noda is a world-authority in PCSEL research, and we eagerly await his keynote address. This will be followed by further presentations from other leading researchers from around the world. Attendees will also discuss results and share ideas on device engineering, manufacturing and new applications. As CTO of III-V Epi, I will bring PCSEL manufacturing experience to those discussions.”
AIPT is one of over eighty, photonic, research centres worldwide. It actively collaborates with industrial and commercial partners, including Airbus, IBM, Infinera, Thales, BAE Systems, and Nokia Bell Labs.
