Infrared optoelectronics is driven by epitaxially grown semiconductors and the introduction of alternative materials often viewed with some suspicion until newcomer has demonstrated a high degree viability. nanocrystals have certainly reached this maturity switching from demonstration absorption chemists to their integration into increasingly complex systems. Here, we review recent developments...

As technology becomes increasingly widespread, we are confronted with the burden of controlling a myriad of complex devices in our day-to-day activities. While many people today could hardly imagine living in an electronicsfree home or working in an office without computers, few of us have truly mastered control of our VCRs, microwave ovens, or office photocopiers.
