Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Flexible microcavities through spin coating." This invention describes a mechanically flexible array of optically pumped vertical cavity surface emitting lasers, which are fabricated using spin coating techniques. The array utilizes InGaP colloidal quantum dots as an active medium and incorporates alternating polymer layers of different refractive indices to function as Bragg mirrors. This design enhances spontaneous emission and allows the flexible array to be peeled off a substrate, enabling it to conform to various shapes. The emission spectrum of this flexible array can also be mechanically tuned, making it suitable for applications such as flexible infrared light bandages.
Another notable patent is "Flexible microcavity structure made of organic materials using spin-coating technique and method of making." This invention focuses on creating a flexible microcavity structure made from organic materials, allowing for large area structures through a roll-to-roll process. The structure consists of at least one first polymer layer, at least one second polymer layer, and a cavity layer containing embedded quantum dots for realizing an electrically pumped microcavity emitter. The alternating polymer layers form a pair of distributed Bragg reflecting mirrors, with the cavity layer sandwiched in between.
