Preface
This is an annual
report on the research activities in the field of optical communications and
high-speed electron devices for 2000 at the Graduate
School of Science and Engineering, the Interdisciplinary Graduate School of
Science and Engineering, and Research Center for Quantum Effect
Electronics, Tokyo Institute of Technology.
These activities
are initiated by Professor Y. Suematsu
(emeritus, the former president), and Professor
S. Arai [Group A], mainly in the
field of Low- Dimensional Quantum-Structure Lasers, Advanced Lasers
for Photonic Integrations, and also in the fabrication of ultra-fine structures; Professor K. Furuya, and Associate
Professor Y. Miyamoto [Group
B],
mainly in the field of Quantum Coherent Electron Devices, High-Speed Electron
Devices based on InP, and Processing for Nanometer Structures; Professor M. Asada [Group C], mainly in the field of High-speed Electron Devices using
Metal/Insulator heterostructures, and also in the theoretical investigation of the properties of Quantum-well,
Quantum-wire, and Quantum-box Devices; and Associate Professor M. Watanabe [Group D], mainly in the field of Light Emitting Devices using Semiconductor(Metal)/Insulator
nano-structures and also the epitaxial growth of Metal/Insulator/Semiconductor
heterostructure.
This report
consists of a brief introduction of the research activities and a collection of
the research papers published in 2000.
