With Laser-Doping, Silicon Responds to IR Light
New IR imaging systems could be possible now that a new method demonstrated that silicon is more responsive to IR light when laser-doped with one of its most dangerous impurities: gold. The method supersaturates silicon, which normally lets most IR light pass right through it, with gold atoms, resulting in a net positive optoelectronic impact when IR light shines on the device. “It’s a big milestone; it shows you can do this,” said MIT graduate student Jonathan Mailoa. “This is especially attractive because we can show broadband infrared response in silicon at room temperature.”

Participate at the SPIE Photonics West 2014 conference (20,000 attendees, two exhibitions, 1300 exhibiting companies, 4500+ papers) for biophotonics, biomedical optics, translational research, industrial lasers, optoelectronics, microfabrication, optical MEMS, and more.
In 2013, the exhibition sold out with more than 1234 companies. This year's exhibition will include five days of presentations, courses, and special events that offer opportunities for face-to-face interaction with potential customers.
The Job Fair will be held in conjunction with the SPIE Photonics West Exhibition. An 'Exhibit-Only' badge or any other type of Photonics West badge is needed to enter the exhibit hall. Upload your CV or resume in advance to be found by employers. In-person attendance is not required to upload your resume.
