Preface MESA + is the largest research institute ofthe University ofTwente. This multidisciplinary institute focuses on the materials, technologies and systems of the information society. Micro System technology, Micro-Electronics and Materials Science are key words. The institute combines equal research contributions from the disciplines ofElectrical Engineering, Applied Physics and Chernical Technology. MESA+ has a strong international reputation, based on its ongoing strength in research which has its roots in the 70's. MESA + was formed in 1999, as a merger ofMESA and the Center for Materials Research (CMO). The institute has a staff of about 380 people, ofwhich approximately 280 are scientists. In full-time equivalents, the total number of employees is around 300. The present volume ofthe MESA+ monographs contains the Proceedings ofNonlinear Optics for the Information Society, NOIS 2000, the third annual workshop ofthe COST Action P2, held 26 -27 October 2000 at the University ofTwente, The Netherlands. COST is a framework for scientific and technical cooperation, allowing the co ordination ofnational research on a European level. COST Actions consist ofbasic and pre-competitive research as well as activities ofmore direct public utility. The goal of COST is to ensure that Europe holds a strong position in the field of scientific and technical research for peaceful purposes, by increasing European co-operation and interaction in this field NOIS 2000 gives an overview ofwork carried out in the COST P2 Action in physics dealing with Applications ofNonlinear Optical Phenomena. Papers were presented in the following fields: • nonlinear optical effects, devices, • nonlinear optics for quantum materials communication • optical memories • nonlinear effects in serniconductor lasers • ultra-fast electro-optic or all-optical data processing The organizers wish to thank the COST Secretariat, the Dutch Foundation FOM and the University ofTwente for financial support ofthe meeting, and Kluwer Acadernic Publishers for showing continuing interest. The help ofHugo J.W.M. Hoekstra and Arne Leinse in the completion of this edition is gratefully acknowledged. We are pleased to present you the Proceedings ofNOIS 2000 in this MESA+ monograph.

NON-LINEAR OPTICAL TECHNOLOGY IN PRESENT AND FUTURE TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS AND OPTICAL NETWORKS D.ERASME Ecole Nationale Superieure des Telecommunications CNRS URA 0820, Departement Communications et Electronique, 46, rue Barrault 75634 Paris CEDEX 13, France Abstract Within the spectacular and notorious explosion ofthe information technology economy, the part dedicated to hardware developments remains partially hidden. Nevertheless, the photonic technology industry strongly participates to the present expansion especially in the telecommunication domain. The maturing ofWDM technologies has provided the key towards success. The requirements for data transmission capabilities related to the development ofthe Internet and other network exchanges has been fulfilled. A major characteristic related to the development relies in the long-term research and component and device design required for the new generation of systems. Although original applications of optics was concentrated on point-to-point transmission, advanced optical network architectures foresee a wide use ofthe "optical parameter" as a main feature for the required exchanges between the various network levels (local, metropolitan, backbone ... ). It is clear that photonic components are the fundamental building block that will have to perform the functions now carried out in the electrical domain, in order to fully explore and implement the all-optical networks. The strategic choice of transmitted signal granularity in every network node determines the opticallelectronic and the WDMlOTDM alternatives and relies on the new component performances. A first generation of devices for optical routing and processing has been proposed. It is mainly based on semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) that provide the strong non linear operation required through cross-phase and cross-gain modulation and four-wave mixing. Non-linearities in optical fibers (self-phase modulation, Raman amplification ... ) have also lead to some interesting proposals. Major achievements have been realized in the field ofwavelength converters and 3R regenerators. These devices and sub-systems are ready to be used in industrial deployments. Present and future research should focus on the enhancement ofnon-linear operation (through strong light spatial confinement for example ... ) or of device speed, while keeping in minds the requirements for integration. Photonic band-gap structures in semiconductors and microstructured optical fibers already appears as powerful candidates for a new generation of components. New semiconductor materials and extensive use ofpolymers enhance the application fields ofphotonics well beyond the telecom application domain.
