Title :
Polymer lightwave circuits for all-optical WDM network
Abstract :
Summary form only given, as follows. Polymeric passive optical devices for the WDM networks are reviewed. Spatial switches, variable optical attenuator, AWG multiplexers, and applications with the integration of more than one function are considered. Reliability and stabilities are also considered.
