The book gives an in-depth description of key devices of current
and next generation fibre optic communication networks. Devices
treated include semiconductor lasers, optical amplifiers,
modulators, wavelength filters and other passives, detectors,
all-optical switches, but relevant properties of optical fibres
and network aspects are included as well. The presentations
include the physical principles underlying the various devices,
technologies used for their realization, typical performance
characteristics and limitations, but development trends towards
more advanced components are also illustrated. This new edition
of a successful book was expanded and updated extensively. The
new edition covers among others lasers for optical communication,
optical switches, hybrid integration, monolithic integration and
silicon photonics. The main focus is on Indium phosphide-based
structures but silicon photonics is included as well. The book
covers relevant principles, state-of-the-art implementations,
status of current research as well as expected future components.
