Abstract
The invention of Lasers has made possible the application of optical methods to communications, signal processing and information storage, retrieval and computing. In the realm of electronics, discrete components have largely been replaced by ICs. A similar technological development is taking place in optics, wherein it is proposed that the generation, guidance, manipulation and detection are all to be integrated on a single device. In this lecture, an overview of the principles, technology and applications of integrated optical circuits will be provided.
