Fundamentals of Photonics
992 pages | Wiley-Interscience; 1 edition (August 15, 1991) | English | ISBN-10: 0471839655 | ISBN-13:9780471839651 | PDF | 11.5 MB

In recent years, photonics has found increasing applications in such areas as communications, signal processing, computing, sensing, display, printing, and energy transport. Now, Fundamentals of Photonics is the first self-contained introductory-level textbook to offer a thorough survey of this rapidly expanding area of engineering and applied physics. Featuring a logical blend of theory and applications, coverage includes detailed accounts of the primary theories of light, including ray optics, wave optics, electromagnetic optics, and photon optics, as well as the interaction of light with matter, and the theory of semiconductor materials and their optical properties.

Presented at increasing levels of complexity, these sections serve as building blocks for the treatment of more advanced topics, such as Fourier optics and holography, guidedwave and fiber optics, photon sources and detectors, electro-optic and acousto-optic devices, nonlinear optical devices, fiber-optic communications, and photonic switching and computing. Included are such vital topics as:

* Generation of coherent light by lasers, and incoherent light by luminescence sources such as light-emitting diodes
* Transmission of light through optical components (lenses, apertures, and imaging systems), waveguides, and fibers
* Modulation, switching, and scanning of light through the use of electrically, acoustically, and optically controlled devices
* Amplification and frequency conversion of light by the use of wave interactions in nonlinear materials Detection of light by means of semiconductor photodetectors

Each chapter contains summaries, highlighted equations, problem sets and exercises, and selected reading lists. Examples of real systems are included to emphasize the concepts governing applications of current interest, and appendices summarize the properties of one- and two-dimensional Fourier transforms, linear-systems theory, and modes of linear systems.

An Instructor’s Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department.
