Workshop on High Speed Optical Processes and Opto-ElectronicDevices Based on Compound Semiconductors

光电子学已经发展到了实用化的阶段。这些技术包括通信、存储和某些信号处理技术。这些发展在很大程度上取决于良好的综合研究方法，包括材料、设备和系统方面的考虑。预计这对该领域未来的发展将更加重要，特别是与有争议的光学计算领域有关的发展。将讨论材料的核心问题，特别是光波技术领域的技术特性、研究人员的可获得性和新方向。第二个要解决的问题是系统架构问题。随着光波系统日益受到重视，随着高度精确的技术发展不仅使系统原理的更精细方面得到测试，而且使其得以实施，这一点变得越来越重要。最明显的是连贯通信。然而，还有计算体系结构、神经自适应体系结构和整个非线性系统领域。研讨会将为未来光波技术计划的规划提供指导，并将提供一个论坛，讨论与量子电子领域有关的一般问题。外国专家的出席将使人们能够从更广泛的角度和视角看待其他国家在这一领域所作的努力。预计将讨论大学研究人员之间更紧密的合作。

Optoelectronics has progressed to the stage of being practical for some applications. These include communications, storage, and certain signal processing techniques. These developments depend critically upon a well integrated research approach including materials, devices, and systems considerations. This is expected to be even more important for future developments in the area, particularly those relating to the controversial area of optical computing. The central issue of materials will be addressed, particularly the technical properties, availability to researchers, and new directions with perspective of the lightwave technology area. A second issue to be addressed is that of systems architecture. This is becoming increasingly important as lightwave systems increase in emphasis and as highly precise technology developments allows the finer aspects of systems principles to not only be tested but to be implemented. The most obvious is that of coherent communications. Also, however, are computational architectures, neural adaptive architectures, and the entire area of nonlinear systems. The workshop will provide guidance for future planning of the lightwave technology program, and will provide a forum for dicussion of issues relevant to the quantum electronics field generally. The attendance of foreign specialists will allow a broader perspective and a view of the efforts of other countries in this area. It is expected that closer collaboration among university researchers will be discussed.
