Quantum Engineering At The Nanoscale: The Power Of Superlattice Design
Superlattice engineering enables atomic-precision control of semiconductor electronic and optical properties through nanoscale layering, creating devices impossible with bulk materials.
-
Thermal Management In Dense Photonic Integration
As photonic integrated circuits pack more components into smaller chips, power density and thermal effects create fundamental performance limits through thermo-optic resonance shifts, crosstalk, and stability challenges that scale nonlinearly with integration density.
