Fundamentals of Optical Computing Technology

Abstract

Semiconductor optoelectronics is currently one of the hottest research frontiers, especially after the attention in the optoelectronic properties of silicon-based optoelectronic technology and graphene optoelectronic technology. Various kinds of quantum wells, quantum wires, and quantum dots have been widely studied, which results indicate they have significant roles in promoting the development of the optical computing technologies.
