III-V Epi’s CTO Richard Hogg chairing sessions at PCSEL 2025
III–V Epi Ltd of Glasgow, Scotland, UK — which provides a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) service for custom compound semiconductor wafer design, manufacturing, test and characterization — says that its chief technical officer professor Richard Hogg is chairing two sessions at PCSEL 2025 (the International Workshop on PCSELs) held at the University of Glasgow on 10–12 November. This includes the Keynote Session ‘Progress of PCSELs’ from PCSEL research pioneer Susumu Noda, professor of Electronic Science and Engineering at Kyoto University in Japan.
“PCSEL 2025 provides a forum for leading academic and industrial researchers to discuss results and share ideas on PCSEL device engineering, manufacturing and new applications,” notes Hogg. “PCSELs have many performance and manufacturing advantages over current laser technology and are particularly well suited to high-coherent power applications. These benefit markets as diverse as AI, smart manufacturing, ICT, LiDAR, face recognition, healthcare, telecoms, and datacoms,” he adds. “As CTO of III-V Epi, I will bring practical epitaxial wafer design, manufacturing, and test & characterisation experience, expertise and know-how to those discussions.”
The PCSEL 2025 workshop runs for three days and is held in conjunction with the International Symposium on Photonic and Electromagnetic Crystal Structures (PECS XIV). In addition to Noda’s keynote session, there are further academic speaker contributors representing Aston, Glasgow, Illinois, Peking and Kyoto universities and industrial speakers representing Sumitomo Electric, Hamamatsu Photonics, Stanley Electric and Huawei UK. These sessions cover topics ranging from high-power indium phosphide (InP)-based PCSELs and GaN devices to photonic-crystal integration.
