Combining electrical and optical components on the same silicon-based substrates used in the fabrication of a semiconductor chip. Also called "silicon photonics," fiber-optic communications employs numerous integrated optics devices, including lasers, photodetectors, beam splitters, isolators, filters, prisms, modulators and switches.

Details of the technology used in this switch were presented at ECOC-IOOC 2003 (European Conference on Optical Communication/International Conference on Integrated Optics and Optical Fibre Communications), held in Rimini, Italy starting September 21. In their preface to the digest, the symposium chairs note that after 20 years, "fiber-optic metrology is not only still important, but we are seeing a rise in metrology needs for the technologies resulting from fiber optics--components, integrated optics and fiber systems. Each signal passes through its own switching connection, a star coupler for the narrow bandwidth and, for the wide band, a rectangular matrix of switches, to be made in integrated form by the HHI Department of Integrated Optics. |
