arrays developed by their team in 2002 have been widely commercialized for general solid-state lighting and automobile headlights. Under the support of DARPA-MTO’s SUVOS, CMUVT, DUVAP, and VIGIL programs, their research team contributed to the early developments of III-nitride deep UV emitters and detectors and InGaN energy devices in the United States. These include the prediction and confirmation that Al-rich AlGaN deep UV emitters emit light in the transverse-magnetic (TM) mode, the demonstration of the first UV and blue photonic crystal LEDs (PC-LEDs), one of the first to demonstrate conductivity control in Al-rich AlGaN and AlN deep UV avalanche photodetectors with an ultrahigh specific detectivity.
