A nonlinear optical-microwave interaction is carried out in an uniplanar CPW-to-Slotline ring resonator on the semi-insulating GaAs substrate, in which a Schottky photodetector is monolithically integrated as a coupling gap. When the capacitive reactance of the detetor is modulated, the parametric amplification effect of the mixer occurs. In this device structure, the parametric amplification gain of 20 dB without the applied bias in RF signal is obtained. This microwave optoelectronic mixer can be used in the fiber-optic communication link.

We present tapered nanostructures fabricated on a selective area of gallium phosphide substrates for advanced optoelectronic device applications. A lithography-free fabrication process was accomplished by dry etching of metal nanoparticles. Thermal dewetting of micro-patterned metal thin films provides etch masks for tapered nanostructures. This simple process also allows the formation of plasmonic surfaces with corrugated shapes. Rigorous coupled-wave analysis calculations provide design guidelines for tapered nanostructures on gallium phosphide substrates.

An optically controlled silicon MESFET (OPFET) was fabricated by diffusion process to enhance the quantum efficiency, which is the most important optoelectronic device performance usually affected by ion implantation process due to large number of process induced defects. The desired impurity distribution profile and the junction depth were obtained solely with diffusion, and etching processes monitored by atomic force microscope, spreading resistance profiling and C-V measurements. With this approach fabrication induced defects are reduced, leading to significantly improved performance. The fabricated OPFET devices showed proper I-V characteristics with desired pinch-off voltage and threshold voltage for normally-on devices. The peak photoresponsivity was obtained at 620 nm wavelength and the extracted external quantum efficiency from the photoresponse plot was found to be approximately 87.9%. This result is evidence of enhancement of device quantum efficiency fabricated by the diffusion process. It also supports the fact that the diffusion process is an extremely suitable process for fabrication of high performance optoelectronic devices. The maximum gain of OPFET at optical modulated signal was obtained at the frequency of 1 MHz with rise time and fall time approximately of 480 nS. The extracted transconductance shows the possible potential of device speed performance improvements for shorter gate length. The results support the use of a diffusion process for fabrication of high performance optoelectronic devices.

Optoelectronic characteristics of the superlattice diode as a function of deposition temperature and annealing conditions have been studied. The multilayer nanocrystalline silicon/adsorbed oxygen (nc/Si/O) superlattice formed by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system. Experimental results showed that deposition temperature of 550$^{\circ}C$, followed by hydrogen annealing leads to best results, in terms of optical photoluminescence (PL) and electrical current-voltage (I-V) characteristics. Consequently, the experimental results of multilayer Si/O superlattic device showed the stable photoluminescence and good insulating behavior with high breakdown voltage. This is very useful promise for Si-based optoelectronic devices, and can be readily integrated with conventional silicon ULSI processing.

Artificial neuromorphic devices are considered the key component in realizing energy-efficient and brain-inspired computing systems. For the artificial neuromorphic devices, various material candidates and device architectures have been reported, including two-dimensional materials, metal-oxide semiconductors, organic semiconductors, and halide perovskite materials. In addition to conventional electrical neuromorphic devices, optoelectronic neuromorphic devices, which operate under a light stimulus, have received significant interest due to their potential advantages such as low power consumption, parallel processing, and high bandwidth. This article reviews the recent progress in optoelectronic neuromorphic devices using various active materials such as two-dimensional materials, metal-oxide semiconductors, organic semiconductors, and halide perovskites

A self-pulsating multisection distributed-feedback laser diode (DFB LD) can potentially realize all-optical clock extraction. This device generally consists of three sections, two DFB sections and one waveguide section. The most important variable in this device is detuning, which is the relative spectral position between the stop bands of two DFB sections. We fabricated a novel structure in which two gratings were located one over and one under the active layers. Each grating structure was independently defined in processing so that detuning, which is the prerequisite for self-pulsation, could be easily controlled. Observing various self-pulsating phenomena in these devices under several detuning conditions, we characterized the phenomena as dispersive Q-switching, mode beating, and self-mode-locking.

G $e_{1-x}$ S $n_{x}$G $e_{1-y}$S $n_{y}$ is a very promising material for the high-speed device due to the fact that electron and hole mobilities for the strained G $e_{1-x}$ S $n_{x}$G $e_{1-y}$S $n_{y}$ are greatly enhanced. Because G $e_{1-x}$ S $n_{x}$G $e_{1-y}$S $n_{y}$ has a direct band gap for the proper combination of x and y, it can be applied to the optoelectronic device. Therefore, the study of the electrical property for G $e_{1-x}$ S $n_{x}$G $e_{1-y}$S $n_{y}$(001) with a direct energy gap is needed. G $e_{1-x}$ S $n_{x}$ layer can not be grown thickly due to the large difference of lattice constants. This fact prefers the structure of the device where electrons and holes move in the plane direction. The transverse mobilities of electron and hole for G $e_{0.8}$S $n_{0.2}$Ge(001) are 2~3 times larger than those for Ge/Ge/ sub0.8/S $n_{0.2}$(001). Therefore, G $e_{0.8}$S $n_{0.2}$Ge(001) is expected to be better than Ge/G $e_{0.8}$S $n_{0.2}$(001) for the development of the high-speed device.h-speed device.device.h-speed device. device.

To fabricate $TiO_2$ nanoparticle-based dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) at a low-temperature, DSSCs were fabricated using hydropolymer and ZnO nanoparticles composites for the electron transport layer around a low-temperature ($200^{\circ}C$). ZnO nanoparticle with 20 nm and 60 nm diameter were used and Pt was deposited as a counter electrode on ITO/glass using an RF magnetron sputtering. We investigate the effect of ZnO nanoparticle concentration in hydropolymer and ZnO nanoparticle solution on the photoconversion performance of the low temperature fabricated ($200^{\circ}C$) DSSCs. Using cis-bis(isothiocyanato)bis(2,20 bipyridy1-4,40 dicarboxylato) ruthenium (II) bis-tetrabutylammonium (N719) dye as a sensitizer, the corresponding device performance and photo-physical characteristics are investigated through conventional physical characterization techniques. The effect of thickness of the ZnO photoelectrode and the morphology of the ZnO nanoparticles with the variations of hydropolymer to ZnO ratio on the photoconversion performance are also investigated. The morphology of the ZnO layer after sintering was examined using a field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). 60 nm ZnO nanoparticle DSSCs showed an incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) value of about 7% higher than that of 20 nm ZnO nanoparticle DSSCs. The maximum parameters of the short circuit current density ($J_{sc}$), the open circuit potential ($V_{oc}$), fill factor (ff), and efficiency ($\eta$) in the 60 nm ZnO nanoparticle-based DSSC devices were 4.93 mA/$cm^2$, 0.56V, 0.40, and 1.12%, respectively.

A high performance fully ion-implanted InP JFET was characterized for high speed switching elements. The switch has an insertion loss of 5.5dB with 31.6dB isolation at 1GHz. This device can effectively swithc a byte-multiplexed 2Gb/s signal and an eye-diagram taken at 2Gb/s shows an error-free eye pattern. Therefore, this device can be used as a switching element for high transmission data rate for monolithic integration of optoelectronic circuit in the long-wavelength region.
