This volwne contains the Proceedings of a two-week summer conference titled "Advances in Integrated Optics" held June 1-9, 1993, in Erice, Sicily. This was the 18th annual course organized by the International School of Quantum Electronics, under the auspices of the "Ettore Majorana" Centre for Scientific Culture. The term Integrated Optics signifies guided-wave optical circuits consisting of two or more devices on a single substrate. Since its inception in the late 1960's, Integrated Optics has evolved from a specialized research topic into a broad field of work, ranging from basic research through commercial applications. Today many devices are available on market while a big effort is devolved to research on integrated nonlinear optical devices. This conference was organized to provide a comprehensive survey of the frontiers of this technology, including fundamental concepts, nonlinear optical materials, devices both in the linear and nonlinear regimes, and selected applications. These Proceedings update and augment the material contained in a previous ISQE volume, "Integrated Optics: Physics and Applications", S. Martellucci and A. N. Chester, Eds. , NATO ASI Series B, Vol. 91 (Plenum, 1983). For some closely related technology, the reader many also wish to consult the ISQE volumes: "Optical Fiber Sensors", A. N. Chester, S. Martellucci and A. M. Scheggi, Eds. , NATO ASI Series E, Vol. 132 (Nijhoff, 1987) ; and, "Nonlinear Optics and Optical Computing", S. Martellucci and A. N. Chester, Eds. , E. Majorana Int'! Science Series, Vol. 49 (plenum, 1990).

Proceedings of the 20th Course of the International School of Quantum Electronics held in Erice, Italy, November 14-24, 1996

The key technology to delivering maximum bandwidth over networks is Dense Wave-length Division Multiplexing (DWDM) Describes in detail how DWDM works and how to implement a range of transmission protocols Covers device considerations, the pros and cons of various network layer protocols, and quality of service (QoS) issues The authors are leading experts in this field and provide real-world implementation examples First book to describe the interplay between the physical and IP (Internet Protocol) layers in optical networks

This volume presents peer-reviewed and selected papers from the 2024 European Conference on Integrated Optics (ECIO), held on 17-19 June, 2024, and organized by RWTH Aachen University, Germany, in collaboration with Max-Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics, Technical University of Berlin, Leibniz Institute for High Performance Microelectronics, and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. In the 25th edition of this conference, internationally recognized experts share their latest research and showcase their products and services in the field of integrated optics, optoelectronics, and nano-photonics. The conference focuses on leading-edge research and its broad application scope ranges from tele/datacom, optical interconnects, and (bio) optical sensing to more disruptive areas such as quantum computing and programmable photonics.

This is the first comprehensive, self-contained introduction to the emergent field of Programmable Integrated Photonics. It covers theoretical and practical aspects ranging from basic technologies and the building of photonic component blocks, to design alternatives and principles of complex programmable photonic circuits, and their applications.
