Beschreibung
Research in optical information technology in Europe has
been very active inrecent years. This volume records
state-of-the-art research conducted in some 22 laboratories
who have worked together within EC ESPRIT Basic Research
Action 3199 up to 1992. The topics cover:
(1) Active optical logic and switching devices - embracing
new materials, nonlinear and electrooptic mechanisms as well
as advanced device fabrication. These devices cover the
range from all-optical nonlinear interferometer structures
through hybrid optical-electronic modulators to integrated
emitter-receiver structures.
(2) The latest state of optical interconnect technology,
embracing diffractive optics (binary and multi-level phase
gratings), holographic space-variant elements and
micro-refractive optics.
(3) Contributions on optical information processing
architecture and demonstrator projects. The materials base
ranges from silicon to II-VI materials with the realisation
of pn-junction devices in ZnSe.
The research reported here lays the basis for long-term
progress in devices for information processing.
0 e This volume presents a set of papers on research in optical information technology conducted in Europe under the ESPRIT programme. Topics include active optical logic and switching devices, optical interconnect technology, and architecture and demonstrator projects.
