Abstract

The large-volume production of highly functional, integrated, standardized and low-cost optical components and subsystems is a key prerequisite for the widespread introduction of optical networking technologies in new network segments such as the metro and access networks. This talk describes the demand for, and the evolution of optical components from long-haul to metro and access networks, together with the unique requirements and opportunities for opto-electronic component technologies in those networks.
