Implemented within the framework of the International Academic Cooperation competition

Project leaders: Natalia Kryzhanovskaya, Evgenii Lutsenko

Implementation period: 2024–2026

In 2024, as part of the joint fundamental scientific projects implemented under the International Academic Cooperation programme at HSE University, a collaborative project was supported between the International Laboratory of Quantum Optoelectronics at HSE University-St Petersburg and the Wide-Bandgap Nano- and Microelectronics Center of the B.I. Stepanov Institute of Physics at the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus in Minsk. The project, titled ‘Design, Synthesis and Study of III-N Wide-Bandgap Heterostuctured Materials and Microlasers with High-Quality Resonators,’ aims to establish sustainable collaboration between the two laboratories for conducting joint scientific research.

The project focuses on the development and study of functional semiconductor nanomaterials for applications in various optoelectronic systems and the creation of a photonic component base for integrated photonic circuits using III-N compounds, including miniature laser sources based on disk and ring resonators. For the HSE University team, this opens up new prospects in the study of microlasers on III-N materials with unique properties, complementing their previous research focus on GaAs microlasers. The B.I. Stepanov Institute of Physics contributes expertise in the epitaxy and study of III-N materials and optoelectronic devices.

The research will be conducted from 2024 to 2026, with active involvement from undergraduate and postgraduate students of partner universities.
