9780471956655: Ultrafast and Ultra–Parallel Optoelectronics

Synopsis

In telecommunications, the demand for speed and capacity is steadily increasing. The thorough investigation of ultra–fast and ultra–parallel properties of lightwaves is expected to meet these demands, and to lead to the establishment of so–called "terabit" technologies. This book covers a key topic in communications, one which will have significant influence on advances in the field.

From the Back Cover

Japan is at the forefront of research into optoelectronics, with the emphasis on ultrafast and ultra–parallel technologies. Many of the most active researchers in this field from Japanese universities have collaborated to produce this book. Their research was supported by the Grant–in–Aid for Scientific Research from the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture. Beginning with an overview of optoelectronics, ultrafast technologies are discussed in chapters on, for example, nonlinear optics, high speed photonic devices and large capacity optical communications. Ultra–parallel technologies are discussed in connection with such topics as optical computing, optical interconnection and image processing.
