Materials of II-VI class have made revolution in the optoelectronic industries. Unfortunately manufacturing of these materials is disappearing from USA. At present there is a strong need to revisit this policy. We will present our efforts to develop and technology transfer issues along with applications of these materials.
Summary: We will review our work of 15 years, on binary and ternary II-VI compound semiconductors. We will present our recent work on tunable, room temperature, mid-IR solid state lasing in Cadmium based II-VI tellurides and results on the applications based on electro-optic and magneto-optic characteristics of these materials.
