Optoelectronics group
Optoelectronics group conducts research in the areas of semiconductor materials, optoelectronic components and photonics (e.g. optical fibers). The research is done in collaboration with foreign universities, VTT Microelectronics and industry. Optoelectronics group teaches the first year physics courses for the degree programmes BIO, EST, TLT and AUT in addition to the teaching of Micro and nanotechnology and Electrophysics majors.
The group is led by professor Markku Sopanen and it has currently 13 researchers, including 5 post-docs, 6 PhD students, and 2 students completing Master's thesis.
