• Superior coatings save industry, government billions. . .
• Beaming in on versatile lasers. . .
  
  The light beam emitted by most lasers is pencil-narrow, and maintains its size and direction over very large distances, making it well suited to a wide variety of applications. In addition to use in industrial cutting and boring, and in inspection of optical equipment, they are broadly used in medical applications, including non-and minimally invasive surgery, photocoagulation, thermotherapy, and diagnostics and imaging. And they hold great promise for improved, secure communications: in a manner similar to radio transmission, the transmitted light beam is modulated with a signal and is received and demodulated some distance away. Dr. Faquir Jain is keenly interested in developing new-generation 20 nanometer gate FET based nanoelectronic logic and quantum dot memory circuits. In parallel, there is significant effort to design and fabricate tunable lasers, quantum well/dot modulators and spatial light modulators for optoelectronic integrated circuits. Devices in both 1.55 microns and the 460-505 nanometer (blue-green) spectral range are under investigation. Dr. Jain is particularly interested in integration of 500 GHz logic with optoelectronics.
