Scope
     Optoelectronics combines optics and electronics to create devices that generate, detect, and control light. The field covers a wide range of devices, from common light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to solar cells, and relies on a growing spectrum of materials with diverse properties. This field is a critical enabler of future technologies, with robust market growth predicted for the coming decade. Optoelectronic materials with unique optical and electrical properties, are the foundation of all optoelectronic technologies. The choice of material is crucial for determining a device's efficiency, wavelength, and application. They comprise III–V semiconductors, organic materials, quantum dots (QDs), organic-inorganic hybrid materials, semiconducting metal-organic framework (MOF), nanostructured materials, perovskites, and silicon and germanium. Optoelectronic devices are categorized based on their primary function of either emitting or detecting light, including light-emitting diodes (LEDs), OLEDs (Organic LEDs), quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QD-LEDs), photodiodes, solar cells (photovoltaics), laser diodes, image sensors (CCD and CMOS), optical fiber, optocouplers, and optical modulators. This session provides a forum for sharing advancements about the preparation, characterization, fabrication, and application of optoelectronics materials and devices. The scope of this session covers, without being limited to, optoelectronics materials and devices, and related fields.
