In his 1963 research report, Herbert Kroemer developed a proposal for a heterostructure that works like a laser. Heterostructures entail that different semiconductor materials are placed in thin layers on top of each other, enabling characteristics that allow them to be used as electronic components. Kroemer’s proposal, which was made simultaneously and independently of a similar proposal from Zhores Alferov, was key to the development of semiconductor lasers, which became crucial in telecommunications and other fields.
Herbert Kroemer donated the research report to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2003. - Pristagare
