Abstract :
Multiwavelength array receivers and tunable receivers are some of the key devices much needed in future WDM links and networks. This article offers a description of this rapidly developing field. Both hybrid and monolithic integrated versions of WDM receivers are described. Related packaging issues are also discussed
