De Rol Van De Geintegreerde Optica In De Optische Communicatie (Application of Integrated Optical Components in Optical Fibre Communication)

Abstract

The advance in optical fiber communication has been tremendous during the last few years. A worldwide research effort has accomplished optical communication that has become a unique and unparalleled way to transmit large amounts of information. Many systems are now available. In the near future there will be a new application of optical communication in the local distribution network. It is expected that at the end of this century the subscriber will be connected with a broadband integrated services digital network (BISDN). Integrated optics developed simultaneously with these developments. Integrated optics is a branch of optics which tries to integrate and miniaturise optical components, In this way optical communication systems can be simplified and improved considerably. It is expected that integrated optical components will become more and more important in research optical systems. After this stage commercial applications will be very likely.
