Such systems will enable real time super-high definition moving pictures such as high reality TV-conference, remote diagnosis and surgery, cinema entertainment and many other applications with small power consumption. The key issue to realize such systems is to develop ultra-fast optical devices such as light sources, all-optical gates and wavelength converters.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eUltra-Fast All-Optical Signal Processing Devices\u003c\/i\u003e discusses the state of the art development of semiconductor-based ultrafast all-optical devices, and their various signal processing applications for bit-rates 100Gb\/s to 1Tb\/s.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUltra-Fast All-Optical Signal Processing Devices:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides a thorough and in-depth treatment of the most recent achievements in ultrafast all-optical devices\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses future networks with applications such as HD-TV and super-high definition moving screens as a motivating background for devices research\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers mode-locked semiconductor lasers, electro-absorption modulator based 160Gb\/s signal sources, SOA based symmetric Mach-Zehnder type all-optical gates, intersubband transition gate device, and more\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplains the technical issues behind turning the ultra-fast optical devices into practical working tools\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamples of above 160Gb\/s transmission experiments\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses future prospects of the ultra-fast signal processing devices\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis invaluable reference will provide device researchers and engineers in industry, researchers at universities (including graduate students, and post doctorial researchers and professors) and research institutes with a thorough understanding of ultrahigh bandwidth optical communication systems.
