Mid-infrared Semiconductor Optoelectronics

The practical realisation of optoelectronic devices operating in the 2-10 µm (mid-infrared) wavelength range offers potential applications in a variety of areas from environmental gas monitoring around oil rigs and landfill sites to the detection of pharmaceuticals, particularly narcotics. In additi...
