8 Applications to Optical Interconnects and Optical Switching Systems

Chapters 1 through 7 covered artificial materials with atomic/molecular-level tailored structures including polymer wires and molecular wires, and fabrication processes for the artificial materials including molecular layer deposition (MLD). Related thin-film organic photonic/electronic materials and devices, as well as integration processes were also described.

In the present chapter, possible applications of these materials and processes to OE systems such as optical interconnects and optical switching systems are presented, and the impact of the polymer multiple quantum dots (MQDs) built by MLD are discussed.
