The major optoelectronic devices are as follows:
$(1)$ Photodiodes: These are used for detecting optical signals (photodetectors).
$(2)$ Light Emitting Diodes $(LED)$: These devices convert electrical energy into light energy.
$(3)$ Photovoltaic devices: These convert optical radiation into electricity (e.g.,solar cells).
