Abstract

This volume is comprised of papers that were presented at the Fifth Topical Meeting on Ultrafast Electronics and Optoelectronics (formerly Picosecond Electronics and Optoelectronics), held in San Francisco, January 23-25, 1993. The purpose of this topical meeting, since its inception in 1985, has been to foster greater interaction between researchers in the electronics and optoelectronics communities who share a common interest in the physics and technology of ultrafast electronics and optoelectronics devices, their multigigahertz applications, and ultrafast measurement techniques. The number of abstracts submitted to this meeting was considerably larger than for the previous meetings, indicating the appeal of this interdisciplinary approach and the growing importance of this field. This preface serves as a summary and a guide to these Proceedings.
