IPC OPTO-02-K:2002

Photonic signals carry ten million times as much information as electrons. Light not only has a much higher frequency than electronic signals, it is divisible into numerous wavelengths, each carrying separate data on a single strand of glass fiber. Beyond signal speed and density, the mechanical and sensory attributes of photons enable integrated components to do much more. IPC and Cookson Electronics held this two-day event. Proceedings come as a CD/hardcopy package.
