The first guided-wave components that employed signals in the form
of light beams traveling along thin films were fabricated a little
more than two decades ago. The parallel development of
semiconductor lasers and the subsequent availability of low-loss
optical fibers made possible the imple mentation of completely
optical systems for communications, signal pro cessing and other
applications that had used only electronic circuitry in the past.
Referred to as integrated optics, this technology has been rein
forced by utilizing electronic components that act as controlling
elements or perform other functions for which the optical
counterparts are not as effec tive. The broader area thus generated
was aptly named optoelectronics and it currently represents a
fascinating, rapidly evolving and most promising technology.
Specifically, the amalgamation of electronic and optics compo nents
into an integrated optoelectronics format is expected to provide a
wide range of systems having miniaturized, high speed, broad band
and reliable components for telecommunications, data processing,
optical computing and other applications in the near and far
future. This book is intended to cover primarily the optical
portion of the op toelectronics area by focusing on the theory and
applications of components that use guided optical waves. Hence all
aspects of integrated optics are dis cussed, but optoelectronic
components having primarily electronic rather than optical
functions have not been included. Each chapter has been writ ten by
experts who have actively participated in developing the specific
areas addressed by them."
