Abstract

In the last several years, the importance of integrated or guided-wave optical devices for lightwave communications has become increasingly evident. High-speed waveguide intensity and phase modulators have been used in record-setting broadband transmission experiments using direct and heterodyne detection, respectively. Initial loop system experiments, where the range of functionality offered by integrated-optic devices as well as its potentially low cost may be truly beneficial, have also been reported. This growing importance of guided-wave devices to communication systems is clearly a result of maturing device technology. However, just as important, single-mode lightwave systems technology has also grown rapidly with increased demands for optical devices with greater functionality, compactness, and speed at a competitive cost.
