This paper deals with the performance evaluation of a passive optical network (PON) using
wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) by employing an arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) …

The relentless traffic growth of passive optical networks (PONs) requires high-performance
optical transceivers capable of operating over legacy installed fiber links designed for much …

An optimization guideline is proposed for designing of the single longitudinal-mode Fabry-
Perot (FP) laser based on the self-assembled InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots (QD). With the …

A paper by Miller in 1969 [1] describes what was then called 'a miniature form of laser beam
circuitry'. It describes an idea to combine lasers with modulators and dielectric waveguides …
