Integrated Optic Device Modules for Optical Communications, Computing/Signal Processing

随着对更高计算速度和更大计算能力的需求增加，人们对正在研究的领域越来越感兴趣。预计，随着单模光纤光束传播的发展，集成光学的这一特定领域将变得越来越重要，从而对控制和处理高速传输的手段提出了更多要求。在拟议努力覆盖的一般地区接受教育的学生需求很大。他们在制造光学设备所用的各种技术以及电信中普遍使用的信号处理方面接受了广泛的培训。

The area under study is seeing increasing interest as demands for higher computing speed and more computing capacity increase. It is anticipated that this particular area of integrated optics will become increasingly important as single-mode fiber optical beam propagation develops, thereby putting more demands upon means by which to control and handle the high speed of transmission. Students educated in the general area covered by the proposed effort are under great demand. They receive broad training in various techniques used to fabricate optical devices and in the processing of signals used in telecommunications generally.
