Research Abstract

This project explored the relationship between research networks and innovations in the U. S. and Japan in the field of laser diodes based on patent and bibliographic analysis and interviews. It observed that the research networks highly developed in the U. S. and many of the technological innovations were developed through the networks. The networks were very sporadic and not developed in Japan. R & D targets were channeled into small and niche markets in the U. S. through the well-developed research networks, but were concentrated into the same markets in Japan. The concentrated R & D targets promoted the development of basic technologies.
