Volume I: Photonics reflects the growing connection between optics and electronics brought about by the increasing role that semiconductor materials and devices play in optical systems. The interplay between fiber optic cables and telephone systems represents the best known use of photonics. Integrated optics refers to optical circuits that combine miniaturized individual optical devices through waveguides or other means into functional optical systems, which are incorporated in a substrate, such as silicon Volume II: The term Photonics reflects the growing tie between optics and electronics brought about by the increasing role that semiconductor materials and devices play in optical systems. Integrated Optics refers to optical circuits that combine miniaturized individual optical devices through waveguides or other means into functional optical systems which are incorporated in a substrate, such as silicon. Important uses of these are in signal processing and optical communications among others. Fiber refers to fiber optic cables, which are being installed to replace the copper cables that until recently were the backbone of our telecommunications system.
