Izuo Hayashi

Izuo Hayashi (Japanese林 厳 雄, born May 1, 1922 in the prefecture of Tokyo, † 26 September 2005 ) was a Japanese physicist who dealt with semiconductor lasers.

Hayashi studied physics at the University of Tokyo with the master's degree in 1946. Thereafter, he was there from 1955 assistant professor at the Institute for Nuclear Research of the University of Tokyo and in 1962 received his doctorate. As a post-doctoral researcher in 1963 he was a year at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and then from 1964 to 1971 at Bell Laboratories, where he worked on semiconductor lasers. He entered the field in 1971 at the NEC Research Laboratories continued. 1982 to 1987 he was Chief Scientist of the Optoelectronics Joint Research Laboratories from 1987 to 1994 and Director of the Optoelectronics Technology Research Laboratory in Tsukuba. In 1996 he went into retirement.

He was with Morton Panish 1970 at Bell Laboratories to the team that is independent of a Russian group at the Joffe Institute ( Zhores Ivanovich Alferov ), formerly came something to your destination, the first practical semiconductor laser (continuous operation at room temperature) brought up and running.
