A Leap for Lasers and Photodetectors

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
TEMPE, Ariz., Aug. 10, 2010 — A team of Arizona State University researchers will get support from the US Department of Defense to aid development of the next generations of lasers and infrared photodetectors. The technology is widely employed in sensing and imaging for an array of defense and commercial applications. The work will be funded by an Army Research Office grant through the defense department's Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) program, which supports science and engineering endeavors involving research and technology development considered vital to national interests. ...Read full article

    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...
