Optoelectronics Research Centre Tampere University of Technology

ORC conducts research and development of novel epitaxial compound semiconductor heterostructures using MBE for crystal growth. With its six molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) reactors, ORC ranks the biggest university-based centre of fabrication of epitaxial III-V semiconductors in Europe by the MBE technology. It also possesses complete facilities to process and characterize optoelectronic devices.

Device development is focused on light emitting and modulation devices, and ultra-short-pulse high-power fibre lasers. Most recent studies are concerned with high-power vertical external cavity surface emitting lasers (or VECSELs) for high-power applications, and development of UV nanoimprint lithography (UV-NIL) for fabricating sub-100 nm semiconductor nanostructures cost-effectively for nanophotonic components.

ORC promotes co-operation between enterprises and universities, forwards the establishment of new business, participates in national and international initiatives, and facilitates both undergraduate and postgraduate studies. The companies directly or indirectly spun-off from ORC manufacture or exploit diode lasers and fibre lasers.
