Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, many efforts have been devoted in the study, development and application of Green Photonics and Smart Photonics. This book presents recent advances, both theoretical and applications, reflecting the cutting-edge technologies and research achievements within these research fields. Green Photonics intend to develop photonics technologies that can conserve energy, reduce pollution and create renewable energy. Light emitting diodes (LEDs) and solar cells with the characteristics of sustainable and low energy consumption are addressed in this book. The term of Smart Photonics reflect intelligence of optical and optoelectronic components with high sensitivity, fast response time and/or compact size. The book explores various aspects of smart photonics including fiber sensors, optoelectronic devices and waveguide devices. The chapters in this edited book are written by researchers who presented quality papers at the 2015 International Symposium of Next-Generation Electronics (ISNE 2015), which was held in Taipei, Taiwan. The ISNE 2015 provided a common forum in the areas of opto-electron devices, photonics, integrated circuits, and microelectronic systems and technologies. The technical program consisted of 5 plenary talks, 23 invited talks and more than 250 contributed oral and poster presentations. After a rigorous review process, the ISNE 2015 technical program committee has selected 10 outstanding presentations and invited the authors to prepare extended chapters for inclusion in this book. Of the 10 chapters, five focus on the subject of green photonics, and the others cover smart photonics.
Download or read book Green Photonics and Electronics written by Gadi Eisenstein and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This books focuses on recent break-throughs in the development of a variety of photonic devices, serving distances ranging from mm to many km, together with their electronic counter-parts, e.g. the drivers for lasers, the amplifiers following the detectors and most important, the relevant advanced VLSI circuits. It explains that as a consequence of the increasing dominance of optical interconnects for high performance workstation clusters and supercomputers their complete design has to be revised. This book thus covers for the first time the whole variety of interdependent subjects contributing to green photonics and electronics, serving communication and energy harvesting. Alternative approaches to generate electric power using organic photovoltaic solar cells, inexpensive and again energy efficient in production are summarized. In 2015, the use of the internet consumed 5-6% of the raw electricity production in developed countries. Power consumption increases rapidly and without some transformational change will use, by the middle of the next decade at the latest, the entire electricity production. This apocalyptic outlook led to a redirection of the focus of data center and HPC developers from just increasing bit rates and capacities to energy efficiency. The high speed interconnects are all based on photonic devices. These must and can be energy efficient but they operate in an electronic environment and therefore have to be considered in a wide scope that also requires low energy electronic devices, sophisticated circuit designs and clever architectures. The development of the next generation of high performance exaFLOP computers suffers from the same problem: Their energy consumption based on present device generations is essentially prohibitive.
