This material covers a number of basic aspects regarding optoelectronics and optical communications. Optoelectronics components are an important part of many electronics and telecommunications systems today. Optoelectronic components can either generate optical signals from electrical signals, or turn optical signals into electrical signals. Optoelectronics components often involve the use of compound semiconductor materials. In this material we discuss the history of these components, the types of semiconductor materials used for these components, the applications for these components, methods to build and control the optical properties of these devices (like the bandgaps and refractive indexes), and the reliability of these devices.

Silicon on Insulator Technology is an important technology for addressing difficult problems within the semiconductor industry. Silicon on Insulator, or SOI, is the process of building semiconductor devices on a thin insulating layer, or on a sapphire (aluminum oxide) substrate. The common technique today is to create a very thin insulating layer. SOI Technology is used for creating devices that are immune to CMOS latchup. It is also used to create low power circuits. These presentations describe SOI Technology in more detail.
