Abstract

The fundamental application of guided wave optical systems has been to communications. The principles and components which have been developed for guided wave optical communications systems are finding applications in a diverse number of information processing areas. This paper will review promising applications in these areas of information processing, including non-impact printing systems, high density memory systems, display systems, high-speed facsimile systems, and potential medical applications.
