2009 International Conference on Indium Phosphide and Related Materials
Newport Beach, CA, USA | 10 - 14 May 2009
Welcome!
The 21st Annual IEEE Conference on Indium Phosphide and Related Materials (IPRM'09) will be held May 10-14, 2009 at the Marriott Hotel & Spa, Newport Beach, California, USA . For its 21st conference, IPRM'09 will continue the tradition of bringing together scientists from academia and industry to share recent developments in the field. Major conference topics will include advances in materials, devices, processing, and system applications such as telecom and datacom, defense, sensors and imaging. IPRM09 will encourage original contributions in novel materials and nanostructures, the continuing quest for high-speed transistors, and emerging hetero-integration technologies.
Scenic Newport Beach is located in close proximity to the southern California high-tech powerhouse which is home to multiple aerospace companies, several world-class universities, start-ups, and research laboratories. We expect this to be one of the most well-attended and exciting IPRM's ever.

IPRM 2009 Plenary Speakers
PLE1 8:45 AM - 9:25 AM
THz Technologies and Applications, M. Rosker, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Arlington, VA, USA
BIO: Dr. Mark J. Rosker joined the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency in July 2003. He received is B.S. degree in Physics from the California Institute of Technology in 1981, his M.S. (1983) and Ph.D. (1987) degrees in Applied and Engineering Physics from Cornell University. Dr. Rosker came to DARPA from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, CA, where he has been a member of the Submillimeter Wave Advanced Technology Group. From 1986 to 1989, he was a postdoctoral Research Fellow at Caltech, where he performed fundamental studies (cited in the 1999 Nobel Prize in Chemistry) observing the dynamics of unimolecular chemical reactions in real-time.
ABSTRACT: Emerging semiconductor device technologies will allow circuits to operate at frequencies beyond 1THz. The DARPA THz Electronics Program is seeking to develop such high-performance circuits. This talk will discuss the program and its potential impact.
PLE2 9:25 AM - 10:05 AM
Recent Advances in InP PICs, L. A. Coldren, University of California - Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA, USA
BIO: Larry A. Coldren is the Fred Kavli Professor of Optoelectronics and Sensors at the University of California, Santa Barbara, CA. He is also Chairman and Chief Technology Officer of Agility Communications, Inc. He received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University in 1972. After 13 years in the research area at Bell Laboratories, he joined UC-Santa Barbara in 1984 where he now holds appointments in Materials and Electrical & Computer Engineering, and is Director of the Optoelectronics Technology Center. In 1990 he co-founded Optical Concepts, later acquired as Gore Photonics, to develop novel VCSEL technology; and in 1998 he co-founded Agility Communications to develop widely-tunable integrated transmitters.
ABSTRACT: Within the past couple of years InP-based Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) have become the subject of aggressive development for commercial applications primarily for the telecommunications industry. Chips with hundreds of photonic components carry live traffic in the field, but questions remain about cost/volume/performance tradeoffs, as well as the need for common integration platforms and/or foundry services. Research efforts have been influenced by these issues.
PLE3 10:05 AM - 10:45 AM
Quantum Cascade Lasers and Applications, K. Patel, Pranalytica, Inc., Santa Monica, CA, USA
BIO: Kumar Patel is professor of physics, chemistry, and electrical engineering at University of California, Los Angeles. Simultaneously, he is the founder, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Pranalytica, Inc., a Santa Monica based company that is commercializing highly sensitive and selective trace gas sensors and high power quantum cascade lasers for commercial, homeland security and defense markets.
Dr. Patel received his B.E. in Telecommunications from the College of Engineering in Poona, India in 1958. He received M.S. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University in 1959 and 1961, respectively. In 1988, he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Science degree from the New Jersey Institute of Technology.
ABSTRACT: I will describe the developments leading to QCLs producing >2 W of CW/RT power from 4μm-12μm and their applications in high sensitivity CWA and explosives detection, DIRCM, target designators and beacons and human breath analysis.
