Self-Organized Lightwave Networks - Tetsuzo (Tokyo University of Technology Yoshimura - Bog

The SOLNET (self-organized lightwave network) enables self-aligned optical coupling between misaligned optical devices with different core sizes, optical wiring in 3-D free spaces, and targeting lightwaves onto specific objects. These features make fabrication processes of optical networks within systems simpler to reduce the system cost. By reading this book, the readers can learn SOLNETs, their applications, and future challenges systematically. The readers can get hints to reduce the system cost by implementing optical solder and 3-D optical wiring of SOLNET into the systems.
