Optical Electronics: Self-Organized Integration and Applications
Pan Stanford Publishing Pte. Ltd, Dec 2011, Pages: 400
The implementation of optics into electronic systems improves the performance of computers and communication systems, where enormous optical components are involved with optical wiring. In such cases, optics should be embedded into the systems without excess spaces, fabrication costs, and system design efforts, so that we can treat optics unconsciously. To realize this objective, self-organized integration is promising. Such “simply-optics-implemented electronics” is defined as “optical electronics.
This book proposes and reviews comprehensive strategies based on optical electronics for constructing optoelectronic systems with minimized optics excess. It describes the core technologies such as self-organized optical waveguides based on self-organized lightwave network (SOLNET), three-dimensional optical circuits, material-saving heterogeneous thin-film device integration process (PL-Pack with SORT), and high-speed/small-size light modulators and optical switches. The book also presents applications of optical electronics, including integrated optical interconnects within computers and massive optical switching systems utilizing three-dimensional self-organized optical circuits, solar energy conversion systems, and bio/medical photonics such as cancer therapy.
Key Features
- Shows “self-organized integration” beyond the conventional flip-chip-bonding-based packaging — the way to implement optics into electronic systems such as computers with minimized optics excess
- Explains the core technologies to achieve “simply-optics-implemented electronics: optical electronics”
- Presents the fundamentals of self-organized optical waveguides and find their various applications
Readership
Researchers and graduate-level students in optoelectronics and packaging technologies, especially those with an interest in board/chip-level optical interconnects, optical switching systems, solar energy conversion, or bio/medical photonics.
