Handbook of Optical Microcavities

Anthony H. W. Choi is associate professor with the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Hong Kong. He received his PhD from the National University of Singapore and did his postdoctoral training at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, where he pioneered development work on GaN-based emissive micro-light-emitting diode arrays. Currently, Dr. Choi leads a team of researchers investigating frontier research topics, including solid-state lighting, micro-cavities, nanophotonics, and laser processing of devices at the Semiconductor Lighting and Display Laboratory of the University of Hong Kong.
