components based on
layered
semiconductor
structures, termed
semiconductor
heterostructures

8. DISCOVERIES

using heterostructure
technology are used
in e.g. radio link
satellites and the
base stations of
mobile telephones

9. INVENTIONS

• Laser diodes built with
the same technology
drive the flow of
information in the
Internet's fibre-optical
cables. They are also
found in CDplayers, barcode readers and laser
pointers Laser diodes
built with the same
technology drive the flow
of information in the
Internet's fibre-optical
cables.

10. Our future

• With heterostructure
technology powerful
light-emitting diodes
are being built for use
in car brake-lights,
traffic lights and other
warning lights.
Electric bulbs may in
the future be replaced
by light-emitting
diodes.
