Professor Craig A. Armiento
BackgroundProf. Armiento has over twenty years of industrial experience managing research programs in both large and small companies. He started his academic career at U Mass Lowell in Fall 2003. His areas of expertise include: photonic device design and fabrication, fiber optic technologies, optical network design, Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM), III-V semiconductor process development, hybrid component integration, optoelectronic packaging and access network architectures. He has published over 100 reviewed publications/conference presentations and has been awarded 16 patents.
EducationMassachusetts Institute of Technology; Ph.D., Electrical Engineering. Thesis: “Impact Ionization in (100), (110)- and (111)-Oriented InP Avalanche Photodiodes”
Massachusetts Institute of Technology; E.E. and S.M. degreesThesis: “Measurement of Minority Carrier Lifetimes in PbSnTe Diode Lasers”
Manhattan College; Bachelor in Electrical Engineering, (magna cum laude)
Current Research Prof Armiento is currently involved with two Air Force contracts working with Prof. Goodhue of the Physics Department. One project involves development of mid- infrared (2-4 micron wavelength ) avalanche photodetectors in the GaAlAsSb material system. The other program involves the development of devices for optical wavefront correction based on integrated MEMS/photodetector structures.
