Nanostructured Efficient White LEDs based on short-period superlattices and quantum dots (NEWLED)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

NEWLED will develop high efficiency and high brightness monolithic and hybrid all-semiconductor WHITE light-emitting GaN-based diodes. Power losses due to phosphor conversion and the problem of different ageing rates of the GaN LED pump will be eliminated by the development of phosphor free structures with increased brightness (power emitted per surface per angle). NEWLED will enhance the efficien ...

Roll to Module processed Crystalline Silicon Thin-Films for higher than 20% efficient modules (R2M-Si)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

The current technologies to produce photovoltaic modules exhibit features, which prevent cost-reduction to below 0,5€/Wp:- Sawing/Wafering and Module assembly is costly and material intensive for wafer solar cells- Efficiency is comparatively low for classical thin-film solar cells (CdTe, CIS, a-Si/µc-Si, dye, organic).One approach to avoid both disadvantages is the so-called crystalline Si thin-f ...

Miniaturised photoacoustic gas sensor based on patented interferometric readout and novel photonic integration technologies (MINIGAS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

High-sensitivity gas sensors measure the presence of trace gases. They have a wide range of applications. Finnish SME Gasera has recently developed a MEMS-based mechanism for detecting the pressure waves created in photo-acoustic cells. This innovation can be used to realize infrared gas sensors of extreme sensitivity. Instead of the usual microphone (membrane with capacitive readout) the Gasera c ...
