PREFACE
Microwave-Photonics can be defined as the study of interactions between
optical signals and electrical signals in the frequency range of microwave and
millimeter-wave.
This field has been growing very rapidly over the last two decades and
recent development of wideband technologies has resulted in sophisticated
devices that are now under commercial development.
This book covers all aspects of the field of microwave photonics,
including components, modeling methods, circuits, optical processing of
microwave signals and broadband systems for a wide variety of applications,
such as telecommunications, radar and fiber-wireless systems. New optical
architectures for antenna systems are also reviewed in the applications.
The strength of the microwave-photonics area has been demonstrated by
the number of papers published in this field, in the literature and topical
meetings, workshops and summer schools in the past years.
In particular, in 1998,1999 and 2000, three summer-schools/tutorials
"OMW, Interactions between microwave and optics" were held in Autrans
(France, 38). This book is a selection of about 40 papers presented during the
OMW series by international experts of microwave-photonics. The very latest
developments in microwave-photonics components, systems and applications
are presented by specialists of over ten organizations in Europe, the United
States and Israel.
This manual is targeted at Research and Development, engineers in
industry, postgraduate students, and all professionals interested in the use of
photonics in microwave and millimeter-wave wide band applications.
