Glossary
indium gallium arsenide
Indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) is a semiconductor compound composed of indium (In), gallium (Ga), and arsenic (As). It belongs to the III-V group of semiconductors and is commonly used in optoelectronic devices, photovoltaics, and high-speed electronics due to its unique properties. Bandgap engineering: The bandgap of InGaAs can be tailored by adjusting the ratio of indium to gallium atoms in the compound. By varying the composition, the bandgap can be tuned to cover a wide range of...
photonics
The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
