Tutorial

This year, the U.S. II-VI Workshop will feature a tutorial on Monday, September 30. The tutorial will be given by Dr. Michael A. Kinch of DRS Technologies, Dallas, TX, who will address the “Physics of HgCdTe Infrared Detectors” and the “Challenges of Background Limited Room Temperature Photon Detection”. The tutorial welcomes all interested and registered U.S. II-VI workshop participants. Workshop committee particularly encourages graduate students, post-docs and junior researchers to attend the tutorial and explore the topic in detail and tap into the experience of and network with the well-established researchers.
