Integrated Optics and Lightwave : An International Journal ( OPTLJ )

<pre>Innovations in optical fiber technology are revolutionizing world communications. Newly developed Optical fibers and amplifiers allow direct <br>transmission of high-speed signals over transcontinental distances without the need for electronic regeneration. Optical fibers find new applications <br>in data processing. The impact of fiber materials, devices and systems on communications in the coming decades will create an abundance of primary <br>literature and the need for up-to-date reviews.<br><br>This journal will give significant developments and in-depth surveys in the fields of fiber and integrated optics. This journal will be unique in bridging the <br>major disciplines relevant to optical fibers and electro-optical devices. This results in a balanced presentation of basic research, system applications and <br>economics. For more than a decade, Fiber and Optics has been a valuable forum for scientists, engineers, manufacturers and the business community to <br>exchange and discuss techno-economic advances in the field. This will help in explaining the subject of optoelectronic devices and their use in integrated <br>optics and fiber optic systems. The approach taken is to emphasize the physics that how devices work and how they can be (and have been) used in <br>various applications as the field of optoelectronics has progressed from microphotonics to nanophotonics.<br></pre><br>
