 What is optoelectronics?
Merging of two fields, Optics & Electronics

The study of light The study of electrons

( including UV & IR) in circuits
electromagnetic waves
semiconductor physics
geometrical optics solid state physics
physical optics
material science
quantum physics
illumination (lighting) integrated circuits
Present & future applications
What happen when Photons & Electrons
join forces?
New telecomm. system: FO comm.
New gadgets: Due to OE integration
New ways of delivering/presenting: via
information display devices & networks
New medical practices: Laser surgery /
diagnostics / treatments
New monitoring standards: Fiberoptic
sensors / light-based equipments
 Fibre optic communication
for high-capacity information transmission
- audio & video signals
for a high-rate of data transfer - internet
for long distance communication
- intercontinental transmission
for possible future expansion - DWDM
 Information display & Lighting
Requirement of a flat-
flat-panel display
- wall-
wall-mounted TVs
The need for low-
low-power consumption
- mobile device
A large
largearea projection requirement
- for conferences
Holographic display
OLED?
LEDs for Exterior Vehicle / street Lighting?
Low-
Low-power interior lighting using a hybrid LED-
LED-solar system
 OE integration
OE systems consist of light
sources, photodetectors and
optical components.
Need to miniaturize OE systems
into chips to form OEICs for
future applications
- optical signal processing ?
- optical computing ?

MEMS -> MOEMS

Silicon Photodiode
Integrated Circuits
 Fibreoptic sensors
Need for optical sensors in
industry
- safety in petrochemical
installations
Multiplexing capability for
environmental and public safety
- monitoring of concrete
structures such as bridges
& dams
Reliable & sensitive sensors for
aerospace & military applications
- development of smart
structures.

Chemical sensors
Optical biological sensors ??
 Potential Applications
Smart structures
Industrial monitoring & measurement
Chemical sensing
Environmental monitoring
 A commercialised system
for monitoring bridge integrity
Smart structure in aeronautics
FOS in industrial applications
Chemical sensing
Research & studies in fiber optics tunnel
ventilation system at the Changkat-Jering highway
 Possible use as a cavity detection
on railway track beds and tunnels
Current technologies such as
ground penetrating radar,
seismic analysis or infrared
thermography are increasing in
use to locate cavities, but do not
offer continuous embedded
cavity monitoring.
Test using soil-embedded optical fiber sensing cable
interrogated by Brillouin optical time-domain
reflectometry (B-OTDR) and optical frequency-domain
reflectometry (OFDR) for embedded cavity detection
and sinkhole warning system, indicates its superior
performance for cavity detection
Thats all folks for today
Thank you Tasbih
Hope to see you again Kaffarah

Always remember,
Light has not only give us our-
our-seeing ability
ability,
It has extended our hearing capability,
It will save humanity,
If only we have the humility,
To understand the Reality,
May Allah grant us tranquility
