ABSTRACT

In optical electronics, the important future issue is the development

of high-performance functional materials such as electro-optic

(EO) materials and semiconductors for photovoltaic devices. By

developing high-performance EO materials, size, driving voltage,

and power consumption of optical interconnects and optical

switching systems will be drastically reduced. By developing high-

performance semiconductors, high-efficiency and low-cost solar

energy conversion systems will be realized.
