Keywords | Inorganic material, Ceramics, Glass, Luminescence, Rare earth, Photonic materials, Solid-state Lighting, LED |
Themes | We study the fabrication and characterization of optically functional inorganic materials like ceramics and glasses, which construct the photonic devices. Special attention is paid to the structural analysis and characterization of various properties of solids, and relationship between structure and optical properties, which are directed to design of novel photonic functional materials for the fiber telecommunication, the solid-state lighting and efficient photovoltaic generation. |
