This book presents the high quality proceedings from the 2nd edition of the conference “Recent Technologies and Innovations in Electronics and Photonics” held at Dr. Vishwanath Karad MIT World Peace University, Pune, India during March 2026, discussing the most recent and novel developments in the fields of semiconductors, photonics and electronics in a very systematic fashion. Semiconductors lie at the heart of modern electronics and photonics, which form the building blocks of all smart and sustainable technologies. Semiconductor innovation, together with advances in electronics and photonics, is driving transformative progress in areas such as smart systems, energy harvesting, communication platforms, transportation networks, and environmental monitoring.  Our focus in this book is not just on technological innovations but on specific advancements in the fields of electronics and photonics which can enable smart and sustainable development. This book bridges fundamental physical principles and scalable engineering applications, offering actionable insights for researchers, academic faculties, and industry professionals. By highlighting cross-disciplinary breakthroughs—from quantum-dot optoelectronics and fiber optic dispersion modeling to econophysics and advanced energy harvesting—it serves as an indispensable reference for those shaping the future of next-generation technologies.
