Research Interests
Professor Jokerst’s current research focuses on hybrid optoelectronic integration and packaging of compound semiconductor devices with optical and electronic host substrates. Bonding of III-V, IV, and II-VI compound semiconductor material and devices (such as GaAs, InP, Si, and GaN-based materials) onto host substrates such as Si, GaAs, polymers, and glass has been demonstrated by Dr. Jokerst’s group at Georgia Tech. The technique developed by her group uses selective etching to separate thin film, single crystal devices (either electrical or optical) from their growth substrate with subsequent transfer and bonding of the devices onto a host substrate. A subset of current projects utilizing this technology include embedded optoelectronic interconnections in high density interconnection substrates, alignment tolerant optoelectronic links for micro to long haul interconnections, three dimensional electrical and optical integration of Si circuits for massively parallel processing and interconnect, new integrated emitter, detector, transmitter, and receiver designs, and alignment tolerant optoelectronic free space, substrate, and fiber optic interconnect. Her research management approach is oriented toward team-oriented, multidisciplinary, collaborative research with other faculty in materials, analog circuits, high frequency devices and circuits, and digital circuits and architectures.
