Optical Properties of
Semiconductors and Nanostructures
The focus of our research
is
primarily on the optical properties of semiconductors and
nanostructures. We collaborate with several
groups fabricating novel structures that exhibit interesting
optical properties. By using 
spectroscopic ellipsometry, we
study their optical behavior in both the transparent as well as the
absorption region. While the optical properties in the transparent
region are mainly useful in designing various optoelectronic devices
using these structures, their behavior in the absorption
region is useful to study numerous phenomena and is rich in physics.
We have several projects that explore the
optical properties of semiconductors as well as nanostructures.
