Special Issue Dedication: James J. Coleman

This special issue of IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics on Optoelectronic Device Integration is dedicated to Professor James J. Coleman on the occasion of his 60th Birthday. Dr. J.J. Coleman (S'73-M'76-SM'80-F'92) received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana. He studied MOCVD-grown heteroface AlGaAs solar cells, lowthreshold single mode AlGaAs-GaAs double heterostructure lasers, and quantum well heterostructure laser devices at Rockwell International, Anaheim, CA. A brief review of Dr. Coleman's professional contributions is presented.
