光子学使能技术可产生或节约能源、减少温室气体排放、降低污染、改善公众健康,这不但可以带动巨大的经济增长,对解决面向2020年的全球重大社会挑战也有至关重要的作用。该文以Web of Science^TM核心合集数据库中2010–2014年间的光电子器件研究论文为数据源,利用美国汤森路透公司的Thomson Data Analyzer等工具定量分析了关键光电子器件的研究趋势、国际竞争格局、热点方向,揭示了国际光电子器件研究的整体发展态势。

Photonics is recognized as a key enabling technology. It can generate or conserve energy, cut greenhouse gas emissions, reduce pollution, yield environmentally sustainable outputs, or improve public health, which can drive tremendous economic growth and has a critical role to play in addressing several key challenges identified in 2020 strategy. In this paper, the Thomson Data Analyzer was used to analyze the research articles of key optoelectronic devices between 2010 and 2014 from Web of Science^TM database. The analysis results revealed the overall international competitive situations of optoelectronic devices by exploring the annual development trends, mainstream research countries, important research institutes and hotspots research areas.
