Optoelectronics

Optoelectronics is a branch of electronics that focuses on the study and application of devices that convert electrical signals into optical signals and vice versa. It encompasses technologies like light-emitting diodes (LEDs), photodetectors, and optical fibers. LEDs emit light when a current passes through them, while photodetectors, such as photodiodes, convert incoming light into electrical signals. Optoelectronic devices find extensive use in telecommunications, medical imaging, optical sensors, and displays. Their ability to manipulate light for signal transmission and detection makes them vital in modern technologies, enabling data communication, remote sensing, and imaging applications across various industries.
