Abstract

Numerous laboratories around the world are researching ways to increase the bandwidths of optical communications components. This research has a number of goals, from commercial digital communications systems to military applications such as optically locking a number of oscillators for phased array radars. The progress in laser and detector bandwidths is evident from Fig. 1, where results for long-wavelength (1.3–1.55-μm) In-GaAsP components are shown. Bandwidth doubling times have been 1–2 yr, and this trend should continue for detectors.
