Dr. Stinaff’s research investigates the optical and electronic properties of novel semiconductor nanostructures and nanostructure based devices.  The lab utilizes optical techniques to study the properties such as spin coherence and control, quantum mechanical tunneling, entanglement, photon-nanostructure interactions, charging behavior, interactions with the environment, and device characteristics.  The primary optical and spectroscopic techniques include photoluminescence (PL), magneto-photoluminescence, photoluminescence excitation (PLE), time-resolved photoluminescence, resonant laser spectroscopy, and coherent optical manipulation.  Through the detailed spectroscopic study of individual nanostructures this research aims to facilitate various applications such as quantum information processing, single-photon sources, novel detectors, and lasers.
