Mainly ECP/fullerene nanocomposites possess enhanced optoelectronic properties and are suitable for various optoelectronic devices [25]. Certain nanocomposites show enhanced photoconductivity and are promising candidates for optoelectronic devices [29].

Once in place and bonded, the bonding material must not change dimensionally, otherwise loss of coupling power occurs. Although metallurgical attachments (solder or laser welding) are used and are dimensionally stable, they require high temperatures or special, expensive equipment.

Many complex systems have been spread on liquid interfaces for a variety of reasons. We begin this chapter with a discussion of the behavior of synthetic polymers at the liquid-air interface. Most of these systems are linear macromolecules however, rigid-rod polymers and more complex structures are of interest for potential optoelectronic applications. Biological macromolecules are spread at the liquid-vapor interface to fabricate sensors and other biomedical devices. In addition, the study of proteins at the air-water interface yields important information on enzymatic recognition, and membrane protein behavior. We touch on other biological systems, namely, phospholipids and cholesterol monolayers. These systems are so widely and routinely studied these days that they were also mentioned in some detail in Chapter IV. The closely related matter of bilayers and vesicles is also briefly addressed. 

Especially with LTG GaAs, materials became available that were nearly ideal for time-resolved THz spectroscopy. Due to the low growth temperature and the slight As excess incorporated, clusters are fonned which act as recombination sites for the excited carriers, leading to lifetimes of <250 fs [45], With such recombination lifetunes, THz radiators such as dipole anteimae or log-periodic spirals placed onto optoelectronic substrates and pumped with ultrafast lasers can be used to generate sub-picosecond pulses with optical bandwidths of 2-4 THz. Moreover, coherent sub-picosecond detection is possible, which enables both...

Altliough a complete treatment of optical phenomena generally requires a full quantum mechanical description of tire light field, many of tire devices of interest tliroughout optoelectronics can be described using tire wave properties of tire optical field. Several excellent treatments on tire quantum mechanical tlieory of tire electromagnetic field are listed in [9]. 

Given tire general description of tire electromagnetic field, let us explore the sources available for optoelectronics. The one primary light source for optoelectronic device and system architectures is tire laser. The laser [10] is tire source of choice simply because if we want to control light fields tliey need to be well defined at tire start and tire laser is tire most... 

The importance of laser light, in brief, is tliat its base characteristics, coherence, spectral and polarization purity, and high brilliance allow us to manipulate its properties. Gain switching [i, 10] and mode locking [16] are prime examples of our ability to very specifically control tire laser output. It is easy to see why lasers are tire ideal sources for optoelectronic applications. 

The primary driver for the expansion of optoelectronic teclmologies is optical communications [2]. It was realized in the second-half of the 20th century that an increase of several orders of magnitude in bandwidth would be possible if optical waves were used as the carrier for telephone signals. The basic configuration of an optical communication...

The composition of an optoelectronic memory card (eg. Laser Card of Drexler Technology Corp.) (162) is outlined in Figure 21 (163). Primary elements are polycarbonate foils with thicknesses of 250 to 400 )Tm, respectively, that are employed because of their high operating temperature and their good mechanical, optical, and dielectric characteristics. The OMC can be used as a ROM or a WORM media. Both possibiUties of information deposition can be used separately or in combination. 

Although the LED is one of the most basic optoelectronic devices, there exists a variety of complex and interacting material and stmctural considerations in designing these devices. These include the choice of materials for emission wavelength of the LED as well as the geometry and fabrication methods of the device. The principal stmctural properties of commercially available LEDs are summarized in Table 1. 

Metal demand has an important influence on price. Both lead and gallium occur in the earth at about 0.0015 wt %. The demand for gallium (1990 U.S. consumption was 10,000 kg) is limited to optoelectronic devices and high performance microelectronics. There appears to be no need to expand supply, which would reduce price. On the other hand, reported 1990 consumption of lead in the United States was 1.25 x 10 t. Lead (qv) production is carried out on a large scale by relatively simple and efficient processes. 

There is another class of amorphous semiconductors based on chalcogens which predate the developments that have occurred in i -Si. Because their use has been limited, eg, to switching types of devices and optical memories, this discussion is restricted to the optoelectronic properties of i -Si-based alloys and their role in some appHcations. 

The short-range order in a material is important in determining optoelectronic properties. For instance, x-ray and electron diffraction experiments performed on amorphous siHcon (i -Si) and germanium (a-Ge) have revealed that the nearest neighbor environments are approximately the same as those found in their crystalline counterparts (6) photoemission experiments performed on i -Si show that the DOS in valence and conduction bands are virtually identical to the corresponding crystal with the exception that the singularities (associated with periodicity) present in the latter are smeared out in the former.
