Abstract

Monomode optical fibers as developed for communications possess a number of properties that make them very suitable for other functions, in particular, low loss and uniformity over considerable lengths. Also, of course, devices made of fibers can generally be inserted into communication links with very low loss. Against these advantages must be set the comparatively low interaction coefficients of silica for any active function. These devices will be reviewed with discussion of their advantages compared with other technologies and the significance of optical advantages.
