    Abstract

    Information technology has entered a big-data era. The every-increasing data traffic has driven the rapid development of information optoelectronics, which is related to key devices, crucial technologies, and important applications for the generation, transmission, processing, and detection of optical data information. Recent progresses on devices, technologies and applications of information optoelectronics have led to reduced footprint, improved efficiency, enhanced flexibility and extended functionality generating, delivering/manipulating, and detecting optical data information. Lots of integrated photonic devices, such as silicon-, graphene- and plasmonassisted waveguides, lasers, modulators and detectors, speciality optical fiber, and coherent optical communications, have been widely reported, showing significant advances in devices, technologies and applications of information optoelectronics. It is believed that information optoelectronics will continue its rapid development towards integrated nanophotonic devices, more advanced technologies, flexible and multi-functional applications. It is our intention to draw great attention of the research community to those hot topics in devices, technologies and applications of information optoelectronics. In this “Special Issue on Information Optoelectronics: Devices, Technologies and Applications”, we present 8 review articles and 4 research articles focusing on relevant subjects by internationally active groups in the related fields.
