Scope of Symposium

Photonics is a cross discipline between materials, devices, semiconductor processing and physical optics and has vast industry relevance. Semiconductors are the dominant materials used in photonics. In recent years continued progress in the research and development of new materials and devices has led to a better understanding of fundamental knowledge in electronic structures, carrier dynamics and electron-photon-phonon interactions. These have generated widespread applications in solid state lighting, imaging, displays, signal processing, chemical and biological sensing, surveillance, solar cells and wide band-width communications.
