New efficient deep-UV emitters for Life Science Applications

Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)) under the programme Smart growth - PL - ERDF (2014PL16RFOP001), managing authority: Ministerstwo obsługujące ministra właściwego ds. rozwoju regionalnego. The source names no beneficiary for this operation. Location: Trójmiejski (NUTS PL633); Poland. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 777,796.13; EU co-financing EUR 777,796.13 (co-financing rate 100%), as stated by the source. Runs 2017-10-01 to 2021-04-30. Source: Kohesio, EU cohesion policy projects managed by national and regional authorities (not CORDIS); selected because its summary names quantum technology. Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): This Team-Tech is aiming to develop the technology of efficient UV-LED emitters which can be commercialised in collaboration with our industry partner (Philips Lighting Poland) and/or via a start-up created within EIT+. Works on UV-LEDs are motivated by many applications of UV emitters including the air and water purification. According to UNESCO data, over 660 million people have no access to clean water. This problem can be solved by cheap UV-LEDs operating in UV-C spectral range with output powers of >50 mW. The main goal contains a lot of challenges including: p-type doping of high AlGaN, high quality AlGaN templates/substrates, the proper AlGaN quantum well active region, and extraction of UV light from the active region. All these challenges are addressed to this project since we are certain that with our skills and facilities at EIT+ we are able to create a very strong scientific team which will be able to reach this goal and open new field of research in Poland.
