Welcome to The Optical and Semiconductor Devices Group

The Optical and Semiconductor Devices Group was founded within the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering in 1980. Its research interests are broad and multi-disciplinary. Much of its work is concerned with the development of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), optical devices, low power and microwave devices, and energy scavengers, but there is also a strong interest in the supporting materials technology and device physics. A number of the projects are with industrial partners, and many have an international flavour; particularly good links exist with Europe and Japan.
