Optoelectronics

The Center for Optoelectronics and Optical Communications has a strong research emphasis on smart integrated optical devices: Optoelectronic devices and sub-assemblies, devices for telecommunications, sensors, characterization, active and passive photonic devices, integrated optics and packaging, optical materials, optical metrology, imaging and communication networks.

The Center’s technical focus from the beginning, and which continues to strengthen, is in advancing the integration of optical and electronic functionality for next generation photonic devices and systems. Particular applications of this research focus have evolved over the last three years in sensors and communications-related modules as well as developing methods for their low-cost manufacture.
