Abstract :
This paper studies the prospects of guided-wave superconducting optoelectronic devices as a platform for ultra-fast and ultra-sensitive optoelectronics. We will introduce waveguide and traveling-wave devices as two main classes of guided-wave optoelectronic devices and highlight the advantages and the new possibilities they offer. The key challenges in regard to the design and fabrication of these devices are addressed and promising directions for future progress are introduced.
