Introduction to Optical Fiber Communication in Lightwave Systems
From the last 10-15 years Optical Fibers are replacing the conventional ways of data transmission i.e. wires, where an optical fiber is a transparent, hair like cylindrical structure which carries data in form of light signals. As the number of users is growing day by day so as the transmission data, in order to accumulate this high amount of data the traditional wires was not an good option be...
متن کاملOptical Components for WDM Lightwave Networks
Recently, there has been growing interest in developing optical ber networks to support the increasing bandwidth demands of multimedia applications, such as video conferencing and World Wide Web browsing. One technique for accessing the huge bandwidth available in an optical ber is wavelengthdivision multiplexing (WDM). Under WDM, the optical ber bandwidth is divided into a number of non-overla...
متن کاملMEMS for Optical Functionality
We discuss key features of MEMS technology which enable new functionalities of microphotonic devices, that can by summarized as “arrayability”, i.e. the ability to make massively parallel optical devices in a small form factor, “reconfigurability,” the ability to change optical properties spatially and temporaly, and “nano positioning,” the ability to position micro-scale devices with nanometer...
متن کاملOptical MEMS for telecoms
MEMS are finding an increasing number of applications in sensors, devices, and actuators1,2. MEMS are being applied to a wide range of systems. Progress is dramatic, especially in optical telecommunications3. These applications may be divided roughly into two classes: i) those requiring precise features for optical alignment, and ii) those involving the small moving optical parts necessary for ...
متن کاملDigital MEMS for Optical Switching
Over the last few years an amazing amount of interest has emerged for applications of micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) in telecommunications. Silicon-based optical MEMS have proven to be the technology of choice for lowcost scalable photonic applications because they allow mass manufacturing of highly accurate miniaturized parts, and use materials with excellent mechanical and electrical...
