摘要

Thirty-eight papers describe research developments in the following areas of optical communications: atmospheric optical communication systems, including low visibility channels and laser communication components; atmospheric optical communication systems, including speed and range limitations, diversity receivers, and optical pulse propagation in fog and clouds; detection and filtering, including space and underwater optical communications, and stochastic point processes; and detection and filtering processes. Also presented is a series of papers on guided-wave optic devices covering such aspects as RF frequency sorting in electronic warfare systems, planar technology for semiconductor optoelectronics, wideband guided-wave devices, blazed dielectric gratings, thin film wave guide calculations, integration of the DBR laser and control of lateral mode in injection lasers, army communication systems, integrated optoelectronic devices using silicon substrates, and single- and multi-mode fiber couples. Another group of papers devoted to optical communication devices treats developments in semiconductors, injection lasers, infrared devices, photoexcitation, fiber links, a computer controlled laser system, a submicron facility, and nonlinear conjugate wave back scatterings.
