The research focus of
the RPI NSF I/UCRC research site is basic and applied interdisciplinary research
in secure optical and electrical data transport switching, processing.
materials, devices, systems, and information technology. The research site will address basic research issues that enable
the massive scaling required by these systems in optical and electrical
data transport, switching, and processing. The research at RPI will also address
terahertz device design and characterization for VLSI testing and for
wireless interconnects. This research will be based on using plasma waves in
semiconductors to carry information rather than relying on the electron
drift, since the velocity of plasma waves is 10 to 20 times higher than the
maximum electron drift velocity
