Reflections in the world press A roadmap for cool and lossless lasers, with Bismuth Coordinated by the Tyndall National

Institute (SPI) of the Center for Physical Sciences and Technology (Lithuania).

12 Reflections in the world press A roadmap for cool and lossless lasers, with Bismuth Coordinated by the Tyndall National Institute (Ireland), materials' development was led by Philipps Universitaet Marburg (Germany) and by the Semiconductor Physics Institute (SPI) of the Center for Physical Sciences and Technology (Lithuania). Marburg led MOVPE growth and SPI led MBE growth of bismuth-containing epitaxial layers and their characterization by optical, electrical, and ultrafast techniques. The University of Surrey (UK) provided unique characterisation facilities and modelling expertise, with industry input from Huawei through CIP Technologies (UK), an organisation with a long history of applied photonics innovation, particularly in the telecommunications sector.
