Key
words: Mid-IR LEDs, Mid-IR photodiodes, diode optopairs, tunable single mode diode lasers, gas
sensing.
Data on research and development of semiconductor
optoelectronic devices used as infra-red sensors is presented.
The aim of
the group working at the Center for Physics of
Nanoheterostructures,
IOFFE
Physico-Technical Institute and consisting of 6 researchers and 4 technicians is to develop and produce
mid-IR detectors and radiation sources of negative and positive power for spectroscopic
instruments. The latter are nondispersive analyzers and spectrometers
based on room temperature optically or electrically pumped LEDs and detectors or coolled
diode lasers .
The MIRDOG
group collaborates with IOFFE departments and
sister
companies performing all kinds of semiconductor characterization and manufacturing
procedures for diode optopairs and lasers.
Ministry of Science &
Industry of Russian Federation, ISTC and private companies involved in gas and oil
production fund current research projects described in recent
publications.
