The Journal of lightwave technology is published semimonthly. It is comprised of original contributions covering work in all aspects of optical guidedwave science, technology, and engineering. Manuscripts are solicited that report original theoretical and/or experimental results that advance the technological base of guided-wave technology. Tutorial and review papers are by invitation only. Topics of interest include the following: fiber and cable technologies, active and passive guided-wave
