Abstract: Optoelectronic components such as lasers and avalanche photodiodes have already revolutionised long-distance transmission, yet the technology is still in its infancy. Future generations of optoelectronic components will see the increasing integration of electronic, optoelectronic and optical functions on single chips, bringing about dramatic improvements in performance and the lower costs that will be required for widescale introduction of broadband networks and services.

Keywords: optoelectronic components; optoelectronics; optical fibres; distributed feedback; DFB lasers; avalanche photodiodes; APDs; broadband; optoelectronic integrated circuits.
