Abstract

Over the last years considerable progress has been made in semiconductor optoelectronics because of the needs of optical telecommunications and the emergence of new fields. Today, semiconductor optical devices are used in fiberoptic systems and for satellite communication, for optical data communication, storage, reading and writing, for optical sensors and measurements, and as solidstate laser pumps. These devices are expected to be more extensively applied in emerging areas such as optical interconnects, optical signal processing and computing or optical memory. This development has been made possible by the greater maturity of material growth and device fabrication techniques, and by an increased knowledge of semiconductor materials and device structures. Ongoing research in this field is reported in the literature and enhanced fabrication tends to make high-yield and low-cost semiconductor devices available.
