Remote Optical Control and Switching in Optical Fiber Links

摘要

In this project work, means were considered to achieve high-speed (>GHz) switching and modulation in integrated optical circuits, suitable for fiber optics applications. In particular, design and performance criteria were calculated for a planar coupled optical channel device, electro-optically switched by synchronous electrical signals propagating along an asymmetric coplanar waveguide stripline. Design was also executed for several of the components in the laboratory although full integration was not completed within the project period. (Author)
