Abstract
A new technology must continue to grow and prosper if its continued existence is to be insured. Although the field of optics has existed for many years, the extension of optics into viable electro-optic signal processing is relatively new. The growing pains of any new technology are severe and those of electro-optics are particularly stressing because of the apparent lack of direction and confused terminology. These issues are discussed and several solutions offered to spur additional creative thought in the hope of establishing realistic technology goals and guidelines.
