Optical Fiber Communication Semiconductor Photoelectric Effect
Integrating the optical and electronic functionality of semiconductor materials into a fiber geometry has opened up many possibilities, such as in-fiber frequency generation, signal modulation, photodetection, and solar energy harvesting. Semiconductors such as Si, Ge, SiGe, ZnSe, and SeTe have demonstrated light guidance in the near-IR and mid-IR regions, and many others have been proposed as fiber materials. The integration of photonic fibers with photoelectric effect systems represents a convergence of two fundamental technologies that have independently revolutionized modern communications and energy conversion. Here v is the electron speed through free space between d on the internal photoelectric effec is iRL. Photoelectric industry is the first leading industry in the 21st century and the commanding point of economic development.
