Smart Materials

Optics, Electronic and Magnetic Materials

Optical and Electronic smart materials are the materials which are associated with electricity. It incorporates the design, study, and manufacture of smart materials that convert electrical signals into photon signals and vice versa. Any device that operates as an electrical-to-optical or optical-to-electrical is considered as an optoelectronic device. Optoelectronics is built based on the quantum mechanical effects of light on electronic materials, sometimes in the presence of electric fields, especially semiconductors. Optoelectronic technologies comprise of laser systems, remote sensing systems, fiber optic communications, optical information systems, and electric eyes medical diagnostic systems.
