The branch of physics that deals with the interaction of light with electronic devices, or the production of light from such devices
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. Electro-optics is often erroneously used as a synonym, but is in fact a wider branch of physics that deals with all interactions between light and electric fields, whether or not they form part of an electronic device
The merger of optics and electronics is increasingly present in our everyday lives through familiar technology such as televisions, compact disc players, fibre optic communication systems, barcode scanners in the supermarket and mobile telephones However this is the tip of the iceberg, as the technology expands in such fields as displays, transportation, medicine, environmental monitoring, computers and construction Optoelectronics will be the all- pervasive technology that continues the propulsion of progress in the new millennium that has been driven by electronics over the past 35 years The Optoelectronics global market was worth over £100 billion in 1998 and it is growing by at least 18% each year [Scottish Optoelectronics Association] http: //www optoelectronics org uk/
{i} branch of electronics that overlaps with physics and deals with devices that generate and transmit and interact with light
Integrated circuits and systems which combine optical elements (e g lasers and photo detectors) with microelectronic circuits, often as part of a single chip
The combination of photonics and microelectronics When they are packaged together, they provide the capacity to generate, transport and manipulate data at phenomenal rates
Optoelectronics involves the manufacture of hardware devices that convert electrical signals into photon (or light) signals and vice versa Examples of optoelectronic technologies are fiber optic communications, laser systems, electric eyes, remote sensing systems, medical diagnostic systems and optical information systems
The technology that merges the sciences of electronics and optics
