The southampton/UCL interdisciplinary optoelectronics research centre

Optical methods of data transfer and processing (optoelectronics) using lasers and optical waveguides offer a great speed advantage over puprely electronic processing. The history of the development of optoelectronics thchnology, its applications both today and tomorrow, and an Interdisciplinary Research Centre in the South of England devoted to its study and application are described by the centre's Director.
