OIDA Forum Addresses Consumers

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 6, 2007 -- The human-machine interface is still a ripe area for development of optoelectronics-based designs for everything from mobile devices to automobiles, said Michael Lebby, CEO of the Optoelectronics Industry Development Association (OIDA), at its first consumer-oriented forum, “Optoelectronics and Photonics Applications for Consumers (OPAC).” The two-day forum, held this week in San Jose, also included presentations by Texas Instruments, Avago, Shefenacker, Lumileds, Agilent, US Venture Partners, Stanford, Nanosys, Versant Ventures and Novalux. "We are clearly seeing the convergence of...Read full article

    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    optoelectronics
    Optoelectronics is a branch of electronics that focuses on the study and application of devices and systems that use light and its interactions with different materials. The term "optoelectronics" is a combination of "optics" and "electronics," reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of this field. Optoelectronic devices convert electrical signals into optical signals or vice versa, making them crucial in various technologies. Some key components and applications of optoelectronics include: ...
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
