Optical devices are optoelectronic components used in optical communication that perform various functions based on the photoelectric
Since optical systems are comprised of passive and active optical components, such as sources of light, lenses, mirrors, and detectors, they can often be well
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a device that emits light (optical signal) when voltage (electrical signal) is applied across its two terminals. In this way an LED converts an electrical data signal into a
Common optical passive components in optical communications include: fiber optic connectors, fiber optic couplers and splitters, wavelength division multiplexers (CWDM/DWDM),
In practical use, active devices provide the source of light and signal changes, passive devices are responsible for light transmission and distribution, and optical components ensure that
Introduction This Chapter describes the characteristics of the most relevant components of the optical fibre systems such as optical transmitters, sources and modulators (Clause 1), optical receivers
Balaji''s research interests span the development of active and passive optical components/subsystems for distributed fiber optic sensors and fiber lasers. Balaji
Passive Optical Networks Another optical distribution architecture is known as the passive optical network (PON), in which common signals are split optically (usually at multiple levels) to feed multiple
Biography Balaji Srinivasan (Member, IEEE) is currently a Professor of the Department of Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras), Chennai, India. His research
Active components require some type of external energy either to perform their functions or to be used over a wider operating range than a passive device, thereby offering greater application flexibility.
By Gerd Keiser Chapter 9: Passive Optical Components Overview In addition to fibers, light sources, and photodetectors, many other components are used in a complex optical communication network
Over the last decade optical waveguide devices have penetrated into many optoelectronic systems. We just have to think of the widespread use today of optical fibres and of semiconductor laser diodes -
In this chapter we will survey the key passive optical devices used in integrated photonic chips and compare the various approaches used to meet datacom application needs.
Two main integrated optics technologies present the level of performance and reliability required for long distance applications. The first one, mostly studied in the present chapter, is based on transforming a
Active and passive components will continue to play important roles of building future optical networks of all levels. We hope this special section will serve to stimulate research and development interests in
The increasing complexity of optical networks has brought about an increasing diversity of active, passive and hybrid or dynamic optical components and devices. These components and devices find
