Preface Optoelectronics - Devices and Applications is the second part of an edited anthology on the multifaceted areas of optoelectronics by a selected group of authors including promising novices to experts in the field, where are discussed design and fabrication of device structures and the underlying phenomena. Many of the optoelectronic and photonic effects are integrated into a vast array of devices and applications in numerous combinations, and more are in fast development. New branches of optoelectronics continues to sprout up such as military optoelectronics, medical optoelectronics etc. The field of optoelectronics and photonics was originally aimed at applying light to tasks that could previously only be solved through electronics, such as in data transfer technology. Optoelectronics, being graduated to photonics seeks to continue this endeavor and to expand upon it by searching for applications for light. At any rate the optics related electronic and photonic phenomena, where the closely connected players like electrons and photons, often refuse to be demarcated into water tight compartments. With applications touching everyday life and consumer electronic gadgets, optoelectronics is emerging as a popular technology and draws from and contributes to several other fields, such as quantum electronics and modern optics. There are many aspects of light and its behavior that are important to those studying electronics for scientific or industrial purposes. Light sensing is particularly important in photonics, as the light involved in experiments and tests often needs to be quantified and may not even be visible and electrons invariably helps in this. The role of lasers in increasing the quality of life in modern times is unique. It is a lifesaving source of light that enormously helped in medicine as in military technology and even in entertainment, data storage, and holography. The wide range of such applications in the field of optoelectronics and photonics ensures that it is generally a well-funded and thriving area of scientific research and upcoming researchers are sure to find it extremely encouraging. In the global energy front also optics and photonics hold the hope of harnessing light to provide safe energy and power especially in the light of the hidden dangers of nuclear power as an alternative. I am sure that this collection of articles by experts from the field would help them enormously to understand the underlying principles, design and fabrication philosophy behind this wonderful technology. The first part of this set presents recent X Preface trends in the development of materials and techniques in optoelectronics and the readers are suggested to have a look into that as well in the InTech websites.
