What Does SLS Stand For?
SLS stands for Strained Layer Superlattice
SLS, or Strained Layer Superlattice, refers to a periodic structure composed of alternating layers of different semiconductor materials, engineered with precise control over their thickness and composition. This design induces strain in the layers, enhancing electronic and optical properties. SLS structures are utilized in advanced optoelectronic devices, such as lasers and photodetectors, enabling improved performance by leveraging quantum mechanical effects and tunable bandgap energies.
