Light matters: Integrated opto-electronics from consumer to communications

Integrated opto-electronics is expected to play an important role across many application areas. Its application to high speed communication has been discussed extensively in last decade especially in context of silicon photonic integrated circuits. But the impact of optoelectronics will be felt in areas as diverse as autonomous vehicles to better user interface for mobile computing. These new and emerging applications provide exciting new opportunity to bring new class of products to the market.
