Abstract

It is the purpose of this paper to assess the relative merits and prospects of integrated-optic versus micro-optic devices for fiber-optic telecommunication systems. Firstly, this comparison is made from a market perspective. Then, the analogy between electronic and photonic integrated circuits is investigated. Finally, a specific comparison is made for wavelength demultiplexers for dense WDM applications. A comparison similar to this one but also including polarization-diversity hybrids can be found in Ref. 1.
