Optoelectronic Integration Physics, Technology and Applications

By combining optoelectronics with electronics, optoelectronic integration is the challenging merger of many different areas of science and technology. Optoelectronic Integration: Physics, Technology, and Applications presents the basic physics, materials, fabrication techniques, and systems applications of optoelectronic integration in a concise and organized form. Comprehensive and up to date, this book describes fundamental device physics and III-V semiconductor growth and processing; covers the basic design and integration of lasers, photodetectors, waveguides, and transistors; reviews and analyzes optoelectronic integrated circuits (OEICs), photonic integrated circuits (PICs), and vertical optoelectronic functional device arrays; discusses packaging and systems architecture for applications in optical telecommunications, interconnections and signal processing. With numerous cross-references, end-of-chapter references, and extended summaries identifying key issues and prospects in each technical area, Optoelectronic Integration: Physics, Technology, and Applications is an invaluable reference for engineers, scientists and students working in optoelectronics.Wada, Osamu is the author of 'Optoelectronic Integration Physics, Technology and Applications' with ISBN 9780792394532 and ISBN 0792394534.
