Overview
This collection provides a broad overview of current research and discoveries in photonic and optoelectronic polymers. It looks at their promising applications, particularly in efficient, reliable, and low-cost technologies for storing, processing, transmitting, and displaying information. Among the main topics covered are polymers for digital and holographic information storage; electroluminescent polymers for light sources; high-speed transmission, high-power amplification, and high-speed modulation of optical signals in polymer waveguides and gradient-index fibers; self-assembly and nano-structure control for efficient photoelectronic and photonic properties; and thin-film transistors from organic semiconductors.

Thirty-five papers drawn from a symposium held in Kauai, Hawaii in December 1995, provide an overview of research advances and stress the interrelations among material chemistry, photonic and optoelectronic properties, and device performance. Topics include polymers for digital and holographic information storage, electroluminescent polymers for light sources, high-speed transmission, high-power amplification, thermally stable poled polymers for second-order nonlinear optics, and thin-film transistors from organic semiconductors.
