31. The lab shares its building with the Center for Optoelectronics and Imaging and the Center for Optics Manufacturing. 32. In March 2014, Thorlabs expanded into optoelectronics , opening a new facility in Ann Arbor, Michigan. 33. Jenoptik GmbH was split off as a specialty company in the areas of photonics, optoelectronics , and mechatronics. 34. In the 1980s he developed an interest in optoelectronics , including programmable light modulators for sub-micron lithography. 35. Since 1997, he is a professor at Stanford University, where he performs research about optics and optoelectronics . 36. His field of interest is optical computing, optoelectronics ( integration of optic fibres and electronics ) and fibre communication. 37. Miniaturization in optoelectronics , for example the miniaturization of transistors in integrated circuits, has improved their speed and cost. 38. In 2014 he was awarded the Rank Prize in Optoelectronics for his pioneering work on strained-layer laser structures. 39. Once optimized the sensors are embedded into the sensing skin and on the interfaced to the peripheral optoelectronics and electronics. 40. For these reasons, RCE devices can be expected to play a growing role in optoelectronics over the coming years.
