However, more promising needs of LCOFs are expected to be in optical sensing or other
integrated optic applications, which would generally require more amount of power to be confined in the outer most clad.
A Symposium on Optical Fiber Measure-ments was held in September 2000, in Boulder, CO, devoted to measurements on fibers,
integrated optics, components and systems.
Currently, space switching in two dimensions is used with small capacity
integrated optics matrices.
In November, the European Optical Society will celebrate the 50th anniversary of on-chip optical integration by organising the first EOS topical meeting on
integrated optics (IntOp 2019) in Joensuu.
photolithography, silicon micromachining, nonsilicon processes, mask design, microsensors, microactuators, micro total analysis systems,
integrated optics, assembly and packaging, nanotechnology, amplifiers and filtering, computer interfacing and output drivers.
It also includes an
integrated optics package, featuring an autofocus camera and lens module with programmable features and a day/night option.
In order, the chapters discuss waveguide analysis; transmitters; receivers; waveguide terminations and splices;
integrated optic and network components;
integrated optics; local area networks (LANs); LANs applied to single-mode FO technology; long-haul networks; FO sensors; and angular division multiplexers.
Combining
integrated optics and holography is a new way to produce high-quality images for the scientific community developing display applications.
It then presents chapters on visible light-emitting diodes, semiconductor lasers, optical detectors and receivers, optical fiber devices, optical modulators, optical amplifiers, ultrafast optoelectronics,
integrated optics, infrared devices and techniques, organic light emitting devices, microstructured optical fibers, and engineered optical materials.
