New generation of high-efficiency optoelectronic devices and systems for transportation: infrastructure equipment

Abstract

Review is presented for optoelectronic products market present state and global development trends. The steady positive dynamics of optoelectronic products market is noted. Presented economical data reveal the large capacity of optoelectronics market and hard competition between leading manufacturers of optoelectronic products. The clear trend is emphasized for applications range widening of optoelectronic devices and their based systems, this trend being caused by radical progress in new high-efficiency optoelectronic materials synthesis and their based bulk and quantum - confined heterostructures. Different applications of optoelectronic devices and systems in transportation infrastructure are considered. Company R&D program is briefly reviewed, including silicon - on - sapphire (SOS) technology, direct deposition technology of A3 B5 and A2 B6 compounds on Si and sapphire, microporous Si and electroluminescent polymers technologies.
