OIDA Key markets are long distance telecommunications, shorter distance<br />
communications, high performance data communications, <strong>and</strong> low cost<br />
data communications.<br />
Key concerns include developing manufacturing technologies to allow<br />
high performance opto-electronic components to be made less<br />
expensively <strong>and</strong> developing the inherently low cost opto-electronics<br />
from consumer <strong>and</strong> industrial sectors into high performance<br />
technologies for a broad range of computer <strong>and</strong> communications sector<br />
applications.<br />
(continued)<br />
OIDA Recommended efforts include automated passive assembly <strong>and</strong><br />
precision alignment; opto-electronic package platforms that could<br />
accommodate both optical <strong>and</strong> high speed electronic requirements;<br />
CAD/simulation tools to speed system engineering or package devices;<br />
wafer processing equipment for both InP <strong>and</strong> GaAs-based technology;<br />
in situ monitoring <strong>and</strong> control; <strong>and</strong> flexible batch processing.<br />
Optical Storage<br />
Encompasses a wide-range of products, media, <strong>and</strong> applications,<br />
ranging from compact discs to rewriteable magneto-optic drives used<br />
in work stations to optical disk libraries.<br />
Key issues: Green, blue, <strong>and</strong> shorter wavelength lasers <strong>and</strong> low cost<br />
manufacturable substrate <strong>and</strong> media technologies plus complete optical<br />
recording systems that exploit both the lasers <strong>and</strong> the media.<br />
Hardcopy<br />
Relates to the technology to support printing <strong>and</strong> copying image from<br />
electronic files onto paper, plastic, metal, film or other materials.<br />
Key issue: need for a single color st<strong>and</strong>ard to support all color<br />
scanning, display, <strong>and</strong> hardcopy.<br />
Need for high power, low cost UV lasers <strong>and</strong> special materials for solid<br />
imaging. Should include research on photopolymers, powder<br />
technology to produce full density plastic parts, an inert high<br />
temperature materials to be used in systems which directly deposit<br />
molten metals to form objects.<br />
<strong>Roadmap</strong> also suggests work in improving inkjet technology <strong>and</strong> other<br />
generic technologies to support improved print technologies.<br />
