Abstract

A brief outline of pioneering works in integrated optics, as well as of main achievements toward the goal of full integration, is presented. Reliability, high performance and low cost of optoelectronic integrated circuits (OEICs) of growing complexity are the keys to a real deployment on a large scale of integrated optics; in any case, however, OEICs will succeed in offering unique and powerful features and will be able to gain some market niches.
