Conclusion
Microwave Photonics: market of the components and functions

This survey of commercially available components and devices shows the exceptional proliferation of this field. This proliferation is attributed to the boom in the dual field of very-high-speed optical telecommunications.

In addition to individual optoelectronic components, whose performance has improved considerably in recent years, more complex optoelectronic-microwave functions are being developed, such as ultra-high-performance optical links and optical filtering architectures for microwave signals.
