Optoelectronic Devices Committee
Objective
We aim to support the full range of research, education, outreach, and professional development activities of the optoelectronic devices technical community. Our coverage includes optoelectronic materials, devices, and photonic integration across the spectrum ranging from THz/IR to deep UV. Device interests include LEDs/lasers, modulators, photodetectors, and optoelectronic energy harvesting devices for applications including communications, information processing, imaging, and energy conversion.
Membership
Members are volunteers who serve for a two-year renewable term at the invitation of the committee chair. Membership is limited to two consecutive terms so that new ideas can be generated, incorporated, and executed.
