Consortium

QUantum Dot on Silicon systems for communications, information processing and sensing (QUDOS) is a programme grant led by a consortium of the leading photonics groups of four world-renowned universities -

• Centre for Photonic Systems, University of Cambridge
• Institute for Compound Semiconductors, Cardiff University
• Optoelectronics Research Centre, University of Southampton
• Photonics Group, University College London

The consortium combines experienced leaders in materials, integration and photonic systems technologies as well as promising young researchers with specialist skills in the four universities.  The consortium also utilises world-class research facilities of its member universities, including advanced molecular beam epitaxy system, purpose-built clean rooms, and sophisticated fabrication and lithography facilities.  Such collaboration enables the advanced research capabilities of the consortium to go from strength to strength.
