ROF imaze imyaka icumi yibanda ku miyoboro n'ibice byayo bya elegitoroniki. Dukora modulators zikora neza cyane kandi dutanga ibisubizo na serivisi bishya ku bashakashatsi ba siyansi n'abahanga mu nganda. Modulators za Rofea zifite voltage nkeya yo gutwara no gutakaza ingufu nke zakoreshejwe cyane cyane mu gukwirakwiza urufunguzo rwa quantum, sisitemu za radio-over-fiber, sisitemu zo kubona laser, na telecommunication y'ikoranabuhanga igezweho.
Dutanga kandi modulators nyinshi zihariye zo guhindura imiterere y'amajwi, nka modulators za 1 * 4 array phase, Vpi ya ultra-low, na modulators za ultra-high extinction ratio modulators, zikoreshwa cyane cyane muri za kaminuza n'ibigo. Byongeye kandi, dukora amplifier ya RF (umushoferi wa modulators) na BIAS controller, photonics detector nibindi.
Mu gihe kiri imbere, tuzakomeza kunoza uruhererekane rw'ibicuruzwa bisanzweho, kugira ngo twubake itsinda ry'abahanga mu bya tekiniki, dukomeze guha abakoresha ibicuruzwa byiza, byizewe kandi bigezweho na serivisi za tekiniki.
Ikinyejana cya 21 ni igihe cy'iterambere rikomeye ry'ikoranabuhanga rikoresha amashanyarazi, ROF yiteguye gukora uko ishoboye kose kugira ngo iguhe serivisi, kandi ikubere umuhanga cyane.
