Optoelectronics and Quantum Physics

Optoelectronics

The study and use of systems and devices that interact with both light (optical) and electricity (electronic) is the focus of the electronics field known as optoelectronics. It includes several different technologies, such as laser diodes, optical fibres, photodetectors, and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Optoelectronic devices are essential for many applications, including displays, sensing technologies (found in cameras and barcode scanners), data transport via optical fibres, and even medical imaging devices like MRI machines. They are essential to modern technology and telecommunications because they fill the gap between optics and electronics and allow light signals to be converted, manipulated, and controlled.
