1. Optical integrated circuits: functions and applications
The main innovation of recent years has been the design and manufacture of integrated optical waveguides and optical integrated circuits, enabling the creation of both compact antenna array control architectures and microwave signal processing functions.
It should be noted that in the field of integrated optical functions, technologies are moving out of the laboratory and into industrial products. A few examples of such products are given below.
1.1 Optical integrated circuits
Over the last few years, we've seen a growing demand for information throughput in communications systems, whether for long-distance and local area networks, or for future integrated circuits.
Against this backdrop, numerous teams around...
