In addition the index of refraction n required for light-guiding properties varies as Ref. 15 n x - X2. 7-12 In summary it is possible to design ternary alloys with Eg larger than GaAs with n smaller than GaAs while maintaining an acceptable lattice match for high-quality heterojunctions. This unique combination of properties has led to the development of a family of injection lasers light-emitting diodes and photodetectors based on the GaAs-AlAs system. . Additional Applications . Optical Communications. Optical communication systems are used to transmit information optically. This is done by converting the initial electronic signals into light pulses using laser or light-emitting diode light sources. The light is launched at one end of an optical fiber that may extend over long distances . 40 km . At the other end of the system the light pulses are detected by photodiodes or phototransistors and converted back into electronic signals that in telephone applications finally generate sound. In such a system it is crucial to transmit the light with minimum attenuation or low optical loss. Great efforts have been made to use the lowest-loss fiber possible and minimize loss at the source and detector ends. If optical losses are high it
