Introduction
The University of New Mexico's SPIE student chapter is proud to report its 2016
achievements, as well as its plans for 2017. Our chapter's headquarters are in the Center
for High Technology Materials (CHTM) in UNM's Science and Technology Park. CHTM
is a wonderful home for our chapter as its interdisciplinary research projects in optics,
optoelectronics, materials engineering, physics, chemical engineering, electrical
engineering, and other disciplines attract a variety of students from all over the world.
The mission of our chapter has been to advance light based technologies and help support
its associated community through participation and organization of activities such as
seminars, outreach projects, and social events. We are passionate in our pursuit of
nurturing interest in science in young minds. Our aim is to nurture intellectual, communal
and professional growth in each of our members, through seminars and networking
opportunities. SPIE provides our members a network on a global scale.

Seminars This year, we decided to concentrate both on outreach and seminars. We had two
seminars this year.
Dr. Chee Hing Tan, University Of Sheffield, England
Friday, April 1, 2016, 11 am, CHTM Room 101
Overcoming the performance limit of commercial infrared APDs
Commercial infrared APDs are currently based on InGaAs absorption region and InP
multiplication region. They are widely used for high speed optical networks, for LIDAR
and photon counting applications. It is well known that current InP APDs have reached
their performance limits, in terms of gain-bandwidth product (GBP) of less than 200
GHz, high excess noise associated with the multiplication process and strong temperature
dependence of breakdown voltage.In this talk, I will present research at Sheffield to
develop APDs with negligible excess noise, very high gain at low applied bias and
extremely high GBP. I will first present our effort to transform InAs, a material that was
generally thought of as leaky diode, to APDs with high gain, low noise (excess noise
factor below 2) and high GBP of 580 GHz. These were achieved by designing the InAs
APDs such that only electrons will initiate impact ionization events. In parallel to InAs, I
will also present some recent progress made using very thin layer
AlGaAsSb, a highly promising material for direct replacement of InP to
achieve significantly lower noise and higher GBP. The avalanche gain
has much weaker dependence on temperature, the excess noise factor is
comparable to Si APDs and much higher GBP than InP can be achieved.
Bio: Prof. C. H. Tan obtained his BEng and PhD in Electronic
Engineering at the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, The University
Of Sheffield (TUOS) in 1998 and 2002, respectively. He was a Research Associate in
2001-03, appointed as a Lecturer in 2003 and has been a Professor in Optoelectronic
Sensors since Jan 2014. He is currently the Director of Research&Innovations and leads
the Advanced Detector Centre in the Department of Electronics and Electrical
Engineering at TUOS. His research interests includes design, modelling, fabricating and
characterisation of optical sensors ranging from X-ray and UV detectors, avalanche and
single photon photodiodes, to infrared photodetectors. He has led various research
projects from the UK Ministry of Defence, Engineering, and Physical Science Research
Council and EU. Some of the technologies he developed have been transferred to
industry via several knowledge transfer projects, as well as an industrial sabbatical at
LAND Ametek. He has published more than over 79 journal papers and has delivered
several invited talks in international conferences. He has carried out editorial roles for
Optics Express, IET Optoelectronics and MRS Advances.

Dr. Elizabeth Stenbergeen, AFRL, New Mexico, United Staes

Photoluminescence Studies of InAs/InAsSb Type-II Infrared
Superlattices
InAs/InAsSb type-II superlattices are of interest for infrared detector
applications due to their longer minority carrier lifetimes than those of InAs/(In)GaSb
superlattices. However, time-resolved photoluminescence of InAs/InAsSb superlattices
shows evidence of Shockley-Read-Hall recombination, indicating the presence of trap
states due to defects. The photoluminescence technique is extremely sensitive to energy
levels below the bandgap, and temperature and excitation dependence is used to examine
recombination through different energy states present in these superlattices.
Bio:
Dr. Steenbergen is a research electronics engineer in the Nanoelectronics Materials
Branch, Functional Materials Division, Space Vehicles Directorate, Air Force Research
Laboratory, Kirtland Air Force Base, NM. Her research focus is type-II superlattices for
infrared detection and infrared photoluminescence characterization of quantum
semiconductor materials.
Dr. Steenbergen received a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of
Wisconsin-Platteville, as well as an M.S. and Ph.D. from Arizona State University. Her
research interests include semiconductor optoelectronic materials and devices, and she
has authored and co-authored 1 book chapter, more than 20 peer-reviewed journal
articles, 13 conference proceedings, 41 conference presentations, and 6 U.S. patents.

New SPIE Shirt
May, 2016
we had SPIE shirt design contest. However, the idea for new SPIE T-shirt was proposed
during our officer meeting. We combined superman with pink floyd.
We sold $12 a piece. We didn't make much money out of it due to the fact that costumers
were student. the main motto is to promote SPIE.

Plans for 2017 I. Outreach Our strongest point is outreach as you can see, therefore we plan to continue this mission.
Below are a few of the outreach projects we are interested in for next year:
Science and Technology Day at the New Mexico State Fair
September 2017
We plan to attend the Science and Technology Day at the New Mexico State Fair
And take a couple of demos to the event.
New Mexico Technology High School Outreach Demonstration
May 2017
We started outreach with this school this year and we feel like we need to do more
outreach in minority schools here in New Mexico.
Highland High School Science Fair
April 2017
We are in communication with Highland High School to host a science fair to
promote engineering and science to high school students in a 2 hour event at the
school’s gym with demonstrations and a brief talk on engineering, photonics and
SPIE.
II. New SPIE T-shirt Design for 2017 We are planning on having a competition on a new T-shirt design, we love how creative
our members can be when it comes to designing a new T-shirt and gives us extra funds.
III. Seminars We have two visiting lectures from University of Wisconsin, Madison and Arizona State
University for 2017. This time we will have speaker from out of state to present their
work.
IV. Keep-up with SPIE Bulletin Board To encourage recruitment and make our activities known at UNM, we constructed it in
Dec. 2013 and plan to continue to keep up with it & have more updates.
V. 2017 Officer and Advisor Elections Officer elections for 2017 will take place at the beginning of Jan 2017. Our advisor is
moving to OSU in spring 2017 and thus we will have elections for new chapter advisor.

Celebrating 10 years of SPIE UNM Chapter!
We proud to announce that SPIE Chapter at University of New Mexico has finished its 10
years. Every year we are making effort to create interest among high school kids to get
them involved in Engineering. We constantly endeavor to create awareness among
engineering students about SPIE and its benefits. Our SPIE chapter is continuously
increasing. However, without SPIE's funding and support, our many achievements of
2016 would not have been possible. We owe a special thanks to the devotion of Dirk,
Tasha, Alison, and Ben who make student chapters possible. The SPIE community
provides many unique opportunities to enrich our members' careers and lives. We are
glad to be a part of SPIE. As students studying optoelectronics- and optics-based fields,
we realize the significance of SPIE's mission to advance light-based technology. Thank
you, SPIE!
