Waveguide ElectroOptic Devices for Optical Fiber Communication

The rapid growth of single-mode optical fiber transmission since the printing of the first edition of this book has been nothing short of explosive. This trend toward single-mode technology to fulfill the need for increasing channel capacity has stimulated vigorous research and exploratory development in the field of integrated optics - which offers the prospect of manipulating and processing information signals at the optical level with compact photonic circuits.
