 | Development in quantum structure based infrared photodetector (QSIP) technologies, including quantum wells, dots, superlattices, and novel heterostructures, over the last two decades has led to the realization of high performance infrared detectors, large-format focal plane arrays, and infrared cameras that now readily available commercially through several manufacturers. The QSIP 2009 International Conference aims to bring together scientists, engineers, industrial |
collaborators, students, and users to discuss recent advances in this field. The conference will provide an international forum for attendees to present and discuss new progress in device physics, materials growth and processing issues, focal plane array development and characterization, as well as commercialization and applications of QSIP technologies. The conference will also explore the benefits and drawbacks of these technologies, and clarify their role in the competitive market of thermal imaging technology. The program will include oral presentations, panel discussion, as well as ample opportunities for informal interactions among conference participants.
The conference will be held at Tenaya Lodge in Yosemite, California, located 55 miles north of Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT) (4-hour drive from either Los Angeles or San Francisco). It is set for January 18-23, 2009, the week before the 2009 SPIE Photonics West Conference in San Jose, California.
