Undersea optical fiber cables employ a large number of materials, ranging from silica and its dopants in the fibers, to polymeric and metallic materials in the cable structure that surrounds the fi

Most man-made materials deteriorate upon exposure to the atmosphere.

Maximum output power and operating temperature of quantum cascade lasers in continuous-wave mode depends strongly on device processing and packaging.

The complex nature of electronic systems places severe electrical, thermal, structural and environmental demands on electronic packaging materials.

Silicon-based electronics is the acknowledged wellspring of the information era and full credit should be given for the amazing and continuing development of the silicon art.

The importance of chemistry and materials science in the generation of microscopic patterns that form the basis for modern electronic devices will be described in very general terms.

The goal for optical information processing is to use the unique characteristics of light which are not readily achieved with electronic devices: Namely, ultra-high speed (picosecond), a high deg

As information bandwidths increase, optical technologies are playing an increasingly important role in areas which were traditionally the domain of electronics.

Future opportunities in photonic switching and information processing will depend critically on the development of improved photonic materials.
