Integrated Optoelectronics

• Ultrafast Electronics, Photonics and Optoelectronics

Opto-electronics is the study and application of electronic devices and systems that source, detect and control light, usually considered a sub-field of photonics. There are different types of Optoelectronics Devices.

Optoelectronics are classified into different types such as

• Photodiode
• Solar Cells
• Light Emitting Diodes
• Optical Fiber
• Laser Diodes
• Photo Diode

Applications of Optoelectronic Devices:

1. LEDs could become a subsequent generation of lighting and used anywhere like in indication lights, computer components, medical devices, watches, instrument panels, switches, fiber optic communication, consumer electronics, household appliances, traffic signals, automobile brake lights.

2. The solar cells are applicable in rural electrification, telecommunication systems, ocean navigation aids, and electrical power generation in space and remote monitoring and control systems and also utilized in different solar energy-based projects.

3. Photodiodes are utilized in many kinds of circuits and different applications like cameras, medical instruments, safety equipment, industries, communication devices, and industrial equipment.

4. Optical fibers are used in telecommunications, sensors, fiber lasers, bio-medicals, and in many other industries.

5. The laser diodes are used in fiber optic communication, optical memories, military applications, CD players, surgical procedures, Local Area Networks, long-distance communications, optical memories, fiber optic communications, and in electrical projects such as RF Controlled Robotic Vehicle with beam arrangement.
