Optoelectronics Expert Witnesses
Start Optoelectronics Expert Search
Depending on the specific technology and product, an optoelectronics expert witness typically has an advanced degree and extensive experience and expertise in electrical engineering, optical engineering, physics, materials engineering, and/or mechanical engineering. Cahn Litigation Services has been approached by numerous clients to locate expert witnesses, on behalf of either the plaintiff or defendant, that can support matters involving optoelectronics technology. Most often the expert witness chosen is member of an industry organization such as the Optical Society and/or IEEE. An optoelectronics expert witness should have a deep understanding not only of the technology, but also of the optoelectronics market, market growth, and competitive landscape.
Whether the case involves semiconductor devices, fiber optic cables, semiconductor lasers, laser diodes, VCSEL, embedded systems, light emitting diode (LED), solar cells or photonics, Cahn Litigation Services has the experience required to turn an expert witness search around quickly. Cahn provides the right balance of expertise and testimony to support each unique project.
An optoelectronics expert witness could provide expertise in intellectual property matters — a patent litigation in federal court or a trade secrets dispute. It could be a patent infringement case in the District Court, an Inter Partes Review (IPR) in the PTAB, or a patent case or proceeding in the International Trade Commission (ITC). In a litigation scenario, a technical expert can expect courtroom testimony, as well as other expert witness services such as depositions, expert testimony, a prior art search, an expert report, reverse engineering, forensic analysis, and related consulting activities. In high profile cases, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, previous expert witness testimony experience is often a requirement. An expert witness needs to not only have the requisite substantive expertise but must also possess the ability to explain technology to lay people, such as judge and jury. In addition, clients may seek an optoelectronics industry expert for pre-litigation consulting work.

This expert holds a PhD in Engineering, is a Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and participates in initiatives related to crystal growth technology (ONR, DARPA, NASA, AFOSR, etc.). This expert's research interests focus on crystal growth and characterization of defect structures in crystals with a view to determining their origins. With more than 380 publications, the vast majority of which are related to Silicon Carbide, this expert's work has been very highly cited. This expert has been very active in the Silicon Carbide community and has formed collaborations with most of the commercial and non-commercial crystal growers worldwide and has been active in organizing conferences related to Silicon Carbide.
This expert's most recent research uses Synchrotron Topography which enables analysis of defects and generalized strain fields in single crystals in general, with particular emphasis on semiconductor, optoelectronic, and optical crystals, especially SiC, GaN, AlN, InP CdZnTe, HgCdTe, AlN, B12As2, ZnSe as well as proteins and other related materials. Establishing the relationship between crystal growth conditions and resulting defect distributions is a particular thrust area of interest to this expert, as is the correlation between electronic/optoelectronic device performance and defect distribution. Also of interest is the understanding of the origins and extent of damage introduced during crystal surface preparation. Current in situ studies of defect formation during PVT and CVD crystal growth of Silicon Carbide are consistent with these themes. This expert's group is playing a prominent role in the development of Silicon Carbide growth, helping to characterize crystals grown by many of the commercial entities involved. This expert is also the named inventor on a patent dealing with Off-Axis SiC Substrates for crystal growth. This expert has prior litigation experience including patent analysis, report writing and deposition.
