opto 2011 - 2011 IMAPS/IEEE CPMT Advanced Technology Workshop on Optoelectronic Packaging

This workshop is a joint effort by the International Microelectronics and Packaging Society (IMAPS) and the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers - Components, Packaging and Manufacturing Technology Society (IEEE-CPMT). The focus of the workshop is on optoelectronic packaging. We are moving to an age where:

Photons will supersede electrons as the preferred carrier of information.
Typical optical waveguides transmit many times more data than electrical wires.
Optoelectronic devices (LEDs and solar cells) play a great role in new energy generation and energy saving.
Accompanying this change are global efforts in energy efficiency. Issues in the packaging of any device which translates optical energy to or from electrical / thermal / mechanical energy are the focus of the present workshop.
