Abstract

The twentieth century has been the era of semiconductor materials and electronic technology while this millennium is expected to be the age of photonic materials and optical technology. Optical technology has led to countless optical devices that have become indispensable in our daily lives in storage area networks (SANs) [1], parallel processing [2,3], optical switches [4,5], all-optical data networks [6], holographic storage devices [7] and biometric devices at airports [8].
