We present a review of the use of diode lasers in atomic physics with an extensive list of
references. We discuss the relevant characteristics of diode lasers and explain how to …

Reflecting changes in the field in the ten years since the publication of the first edition, The
Handbook of Photonics, Second Edition explores recent advances that have affected this …

Design considerations for subscriber multiplexed (SCM) systems distributing multichannel
analog/digital signals are reviewed. In particular, video distribution schemes based on …

Excess intensity noise in a low-noise single-frequency class-A VECSEL is experimentally
investigated over the frequency range 10 kHz–18 GHz. An analytical model is derived …

Limitations of current CATV (cable television) system architecture are described. A hybrid
optical fiber/coaxial cable architecture is introduced, and the performance levels necessary …

Recently, there is an increasing interest in the distribution of (analog) radio frequency (RF)
or microwave signals over the optical fibers. In this so-called analog photonic links (APL) an …

The use of optics as an alternative method for achieving very high speed (10 Gb/s> bit rate>
500 Mb/s) electrical interconnects is the subject of this paper. Optical interconnect media …

A high-power Nd: YAG laser with a linearized external modulator-based system is
demonstrated for a transmission of 50 channels of vestigal sideband amplitude modulated …

When two lasers carrying subcarrier-multiplexed data operate with very closely spaced
wavelengths, beating between the lasers can occur which increases the noise at the …

The authors have recently demonstrated that an optical feedforward compensation
technique can be used to reduce distortion and intensity noise in semiconductor laser …
