What Does GRINSCH Stand For?

GRINSCH stands for Graded Index Separate Confinement Heterostructure

GRINSCH, or Graded Index Separate Confinement Heterostructure, refers to a semiconductor device architecture characterized by a gradual change in the refractive index and distinct layers that provide spatial confinement of charge carriers. This design enhances optical and electronic properties, leading to improved performance in applications such as laser diodes and optoelectronic devices. The graded index profile optimizes light confinement and reduces scattering, thus enabling higher efficiency and better wavelength control in advanced photonic systems.
