Appendix A<br />

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 />
