O autorze

Richard De La Rue has been Professor of Optoelectronics at Glasgow University since 1986. His research has been concerned with photonic crystal and photonic wire structures, with waveguide micro-cavities and with meta-materials. Silicon, silica, metals and compound semiconductors are all involved in this nano- and micro-photonics research activity. His research in the area of photonic crystals has evolved to cover compact lasers, planar micro-cavities, photonic-crystal LEDs, photonic integrated circuits (PICs), synthetic opal and inverse opal structures. He is a Fellow of IEEE, OSA, IET, Royal Society of Edinburgh (FRSE) and the Royal Academy of Engineering (FREng)
