This book addresses electronics and the rise of photonics and asks what the future holds in
store for this technology. It highlights the latest research on all types of solar cells and
photonic devices and a new approach combining photonics and electronics. Beyond simply
explaining the existing systems or providing a synthesis of the current state of knowledge the
book also offers readers new perspectives for their own research. Lastly drawing on the
interconnections between electronics and photonics the book suggests a possible means of using
solar energy directly with the aid of future photonic devices.
