Photonic devices optoelectronic switches

K. Matyjaszewski in 1990. After he joined Prof. C. K. Ober s research group in the Department of Materials Science Engineering at Cornell University as a postdoctoral associate for 2 years, working with the development and applications of optoelectronic polymers, he returned to Korea in 1993 and worked to develop polymeric photonic devices as a Project Leader at the Photonic Switching Section at the Electronics Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) for IV2 years. He became an Assistant Professor in the Department of Polymer Science Engineering at Hannam University. Professor Kim was the recipient of the Excellent Scientist Award of the Korean Chemical Society for Polymer Chemistry in 1998. He has published more than 95 communications, papers, and review articles, a number of chapters in books, and 13 patents. 

Substantial progress has been accomplished in the fabrication of molecular and biomolecular optoelectronic devices. Light-activated molecular and bio-molecular systems have been integrated with electronic transducers, and the optical switching of the systems has been electronically transduced to the macroscopic environment. In particular, the photonic switching of an electron-transfer cascade has allowed the amplified electronic transduction of an input...
