Over the last few decades, the world has experienced an electro-optical revolution: digital light displays that light up car dashboards, mobile phones and stereo sound systems; fluorescent and phosphorescent screens, for example in portable computers; underwater lighting-equipment and night-working apparatus; optical switches and shock-wave triggers for use within electronic circuitry itself. The optoelectronic and photonics industry was estimated to be worth $236 million on the world market in 2004, and is expected to exceed $1 trillion by 2015. Consequently, there is a clear need for major research and development in this area.

在过去几十年里，世界经历了一场光电革命：照亮汽车仪表盘、移动电话和立体声系统的数字光显示器；例如便携式计算机中的荧光屏和磷光屏；水下照明设备和夜间工作装置；电子电路本身使用的光学开关和冲击波触发器。2004年，光电子和光电子产业在世界市场上的价值估计为2.36亿美元，预计到2015年将超过1万亿美元。因此，显然需要在这一领域进行重大研究和开发。
