Description
Summary:Nowadays, optical communications have received great interest in industries due to its great communicating velocity and capacity and this has affected our daily lives significantly. All optical networks are being developed and it could become the next generation's communication method. At the same time, photonics is becoming more and more popular and has found applications in many fields such as optical communications, biophotonics and many others. With these tendencies, it will be very meaningful to fabricate microoptical elements cost-effectively. In addition, the discovery and expansion of its application in photonics and optical communications will be very exciting.
