INTRODUCTION
In this document, we present an overview of the following components, separating optoelectronic components from passive optical components:
continuous lasers ;
direct modulation lasers ;
external modulators ;
optical amplifiers ;
photodetectors ;
multiplexers and demultiplexers ;
fiber optics.
This article completes a series devoted to microwave optoelectronics:
