... OPI OELECTRONICS IN JAPAN University: The excellence of Japanese university research where individual researchers have made outstanding contributions in various segments of the optoelectronics field has become widely recognized recently. The University of Tokyo2s conducts some of Japan's most fundamental, least applied, basic research in optoelectronics.

... AT&T purchased lasers from Hitachi for its transatlantic cable.26 In addition to these individual company efforts, it is worth noting the Optoelectronic Industry and Technology Development Association, which was formed in 1980 by 11 private Japanese companies.27 The association has 263 supporting members including some Japanese subsidiaries of foreign firms (AT&T International Japan, IBM Japan, Philips)

... · University of New Mexico, Stanford University, and California Institute of Technology. Excellent university research in optoelectronics takes place at individual universities and at some of the National Science Foundation's Engineering Research Centers (ERCs)
From page 28...
... Fiber optics technology, optoelectronic integrated circuits, semiconductor research, and optical computing are all considered top quality. Bellcore, funded by the Bell Operating Companies, conducts research in materials, fiber optics technology, optical devices, and networks; Bellcore leads in the production of gallium arsenide strips from wafers, important for the production of minilasers for semiconductor chips.
