Optoelectronic Devices Technologies and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Optoelectronic technology is a high-tech field integrating optical, electrical, mechanical and computing aspects, and its application range is very wide, including communication, medical, military, meteorological, display, storage and imaging. The photoelectric effect, optical waveguide, and quantum effect are the foundation and core of optoelectronic technology research. With the rapid development of science and technology, optoelectronic devices are constantly being updated and improved, and its application field has also been expanded, playing an important role in smart cities, smart homes and other fields, thus becoming an important support to promote the development of various industries. Optoelectronic device materials, photoelectric detection, integrated optical communication devices, fiber amplifier and laser devices are developing rapidly; with the continuous development and innovation of artificial intelligence technology, optoelectronic technology will be increasingly combined with this field so that optoelectronic technology can be made more intelligent, automated and networked, and better serve human beings. Only continuous technological innovation, unremitting efforts in basic research, and deep integration with various industries can promote the rapid development of optoelectronic technology. This Special Issue aims to invite researchers in relevant fields to contribute their original research and expand the knowledge in this field.
