Scope
Ferroelectrics, nonlinear optical (NLO) and luminescent materials play a major role in modern technology. The applications of ferroelectrics include IR detectors and thermal imaging (pyroelectric vidicons), microelectronics nonvolatile memories, tunable microwave devices, phase shifters, oscillators, high-Q resonators, etc. The applications of NLO materials include the field of solid state technology, harmonic generators, optical computing, telecommunications, laser lithography, image processing, sensors, diode lasers, and overall optical systems. The luminescent materials cover a wide range of materials and applications that are of current interest including organic and inorganic light emitting materials, nanomaterials, powder and thin-film phosphors and devices. The study of ferroelectrics, NLO and luminescent materials cover a broad interdisciplinary area of research requiring expertise in various fields.
