Optical Communication Systems

John E Midwinter FRS FREng FIEE FIEEE,

When the laser was invented in 1960 it offered a coherent EM source at a carrier frequency of 432THz and was immediately seen as the basis for future THz communication systems! Yet it is only now, forty years on, that we see this vision has largely come true. Where will optical communications go next ?
