Developments in nitrides: Part 1 - Opto-electronics

AbstractIn tune with the growing importance of nitride devices, the biennial 4th International Conference on Nitride Semiconductors in Denver, CO, USA in July had a record attendance of over 540 registrants and a record number of papers. Improved performances were reported for both electronic and opto-electronic devices. Here we focus on opto developments, while in the next issue Part 2 will cover microelectrenic applications
