Abstract :
This paper reviews some of our pioneering contributions to the field of III-V compound semiconductor materials and low-dimensional optoelectronic devices. These contributions span from the ultraviolet (/spl lambda//spl sim/200 nm) up to the far-infrared (/spl lambda//spl sim/25 /spl mu/m) portion of the electromagnetic spectrum and have had a major scientific and technological impact on the semiconductor world in the past 20 years.
