Introduction

What is Optoelectronics?
Many people tried to define what are the contents of optoelectronics,
electro-optics, photonics and various other terms.

With vast amount of emerging new technologies involving both


electronics and optics, the term optoelectronics has become a broad term
with vague definitions.

Introduction

What is Optoelectronics?
(from Wikipedia 2008)

Photonics is the science of generating, controlling, and detecting photons,


particularly in the visible and near infra-red spectrum, but also extending to the
ultraviolet (0.2 - 0.35 m wavelength), long-wave infrared (8 - 12 m wavelength),
and far-infrared/THz portion of the spectrum (e.g., 2-4 THz corresponding to 75-
150 m wavelength) where today quantum cascade lasers are being actively
developed. Photonics is an outgrowth of the first practical semiconductor light
emitters invented in the early 1960s.

Optoelectronics is the study and application of electronic devices that interact


with light, and thus is usually considered a sub-field of photonics. In this context,
light often includes invisible forms of radiation such as gamma rays, X-rays,
ultraviolet and infrared. Optoelectronic devices are electrical-to-optical or optical-
to-electrical transducers, or instruments that use such devices in their operation.
