Abstract
All-optical data processing is highly desirable in optical data-communication networks because of the increasing need of bandwidth and optical transparency. The paper presents an evaluation of integrated optics device concepts, discusses materials requirements and gives experimental results of own work on devices based on silicon technology with hybrid integration of polymers as a nonlinear material.Keywords
