Thin Films for Integrated Optics Applications Symposium Held April 17-20, 1995, San Francisco, California, U.S.A.

The combination of electro-optic (EO) thin films with silicon-integrated circuits provides a promising approach to creating optoelectronic integrated circuits (OEICs) capable of sending information at data rates greater than 1 Gbit/second with low power consumption. These devices are of two basic types -- very highly parallel (64K channels or greater) or very high speed (Gbits/second/channel). Materials scientists, chemists and physicists come together in this volume to discuss EO thin-film materials and devices, and to learn about advances in fields outside of their specific areas. Electro-optic materials featured include organic polymers and/or multilayers, liquid crystals, and inorganic thin films. Materials design, processing, and device issues are addressed.Wessels, Bruce W. is the author of 'Thin Films for Integrated Optics Applications Symposium Held April 17-20, 1995, San Francisco, California, U.S.A.', published 1995 under ISBN 9781558992955 and ISBN 1558992952.
