ABSTRACT

In the last century, the discovery of electronic band gap materials has revolutionized semiconductor industries. By virtue of the concomitant emergence of semiconductor transistors, integrated circuits, and microchips, telecommunication and computer industries have enjoyed explosive

growth. The enhanced computation speed, increased storage capacities, and cost reduction are the hallmarks of the revolution of the omnipresent computers. In pursuit of a faster computation speed and a larger memory storage, it becomes apparent that telecommunication through photons is preferred to the conventional electron transport.
