contents Semiconductor photonic devices operating in the midwave infrared (mid-IR, which we roughly define here as wavelengths spanning 3 to 14 microns) uniquely address a wide range of current practical needs. These include chemical sensing, environmental monitoring, industrial process control, medical diagnostics, thermal imaging, LIDAR, free space optical communication, and security monitoring. However, mid-IR device technologies are currently still works in progress that are generally much less mature than their near infrared and visible counterparts. Not only are most of the relevant materials more difficult to grow and process, but attainment of the desired optical device performance is often fundamentally more challenging. This Roadmap will review the leading applications for mid-IR optoelectronics, summarize the status and deficiencies of current device technologies, and then suggest possible roadmaps for improving and maturing the performance, manufacturability, and cost of each device type so the critical needs that are uniquely addressed by mid-IR photonics can be satisfied.

Semiconductor photonic devices operating in the midwave infrared (mid-IR, which we roughly define here as wavelengths spanning 3 to 14 microns) uniquely address a wide range of current practical needs.
