Goodhue is the director of the Photonics Center and a staff member at MIT Lincoln Labs. He previously worked at United Technologies Research Center.
Contributions:
- Goodhue grew the first resonant tunneling device to be made into a working device.
- Developed some of the first quantum-well charge-coupled devices
- The first charged-coupled-device-addressed spatial light modulator
- The first SHOC laser
- One of the first quantum-well memory devices
- The first quantum-well shallow donor photodetector
- Contributed state-of-the-art materials to a number of studies including a study of Stark shift in coupled quantum wells, a study of shallow donor diffusion in quantum wells, and a study of nonlinear optical effects in a variety of waveguide materials.
- Developed gradient temperature molecular beam epitaxy which made possible the growth of tapered quantum wells and waveguides on planer surfaces.
- He also developed a chlorine ion beam assisted micromachining technology for InGaAs/GaAs/AlGaAs materials. This technology lead to the first two-dimensional surface emitting diode laser arrays in theGaAs/AlGaAs materials system. The technology also allows the monolithic integration of micron-size optical elements with lasers, modulators, waveguides, and antennas and the development of new vacuum microelectronic devices.
- Recently he has extended the etching technology to bromine which etches most III-V materials.
