The transmission and processing of signals carried by optical beams rather than by
electrical currents or radio waves has been a topic of great interest ever since the early …

Research on waveguide modulators is now in a rather advanced stage, and the evolution to
application in such areas as optical communication and high-speed signal processing …

Single-mode fibers are the most advanced means of transmitting information, since they
provide extremely low attenuation and very high bandwidths. At present, long distance …

We review the current status of guided-wave optical communication devices. The operation
and presently demonstrated performance characteristics of waveguides switches …

Mode partition noise can be the dominant limitation on a system error rate for single-mode-
fiber laser transmission systems. The distribution of power among the longitudinal modes of …

Low dark current and low multiplication noise properties for an In 0.53 Ga 0.47 As/InP
avalanche photodiode are described. The diode is prepared with an In 0.53 Ga 0.47 As light …

Signal-transmission characteristics of optical-fiber waveguides are determined largely by
their structural geometries, physical parameters, and materials properties. This paper …

The band-to-band Auger recombination effect on the threshold current in an InGaAsP laser
is studied theoretically. An approximation method for the calculation is derived and the …

We consider the question of the maximum transmission bandwidth in single-mode fibers
from the theoretical as well as practical point of view. First, we show that there is an optimal …

Lasing characteristics of 1.5-1.6 μ m GaInAsP/InP integrated twin-guide lasers with first-
order distributed Bragg reflectors (DBR-ITG lasers) are given theoretically and …
