Abstract :
Analog Photonics is here to stay. More and more RF applications are finding good uses for the technology to solve their particular problems. Generally RF systems utilizing long delays or multi-octave RF bandwidths are good insertion candidates. Integration and “Ruggedization” are needed to allow for more widespread use.
