Dr. Handelman received the grant for his research project titled:
“A Neuromorphic Device Based on a Light Emitting Transistor (LET) with Organic Layers for Efficient Quantum Communication.”
A Light-Emitting Transistor (LET) is an optoelectronic device that integrates light emission with high-speed switching and signal amplification, enabled by its transistor architecture. To date, LETs have primarily been explored for display applications as a potential alternative to light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, their relatively low emission intensity under low-voltage operation has thus far hindered large-scale implementation.
The objective of the proposed project is to develop a novel class of LETs based on hybrid organic material systems and to integrate them into advanced optical and quantum communication platforms.
These devices are intended to support neuromorphic functionalities, including automated pattern recognition and dynamic spectrum management. The anticipated outcome is a significant enhancement in communication system efficiency, robustness, and information security.
