Book Statistics
Photonics
Description
Including numerous examples throughout, Photonics, Sixth Edition, is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in photonics, optoelectronics, or optical communications. It is also a useful reference for practicing engineers and scientists.
New Material in the Sixth Edition
·Stokes Parameters and Poincare Sphere: polarization states in birefringent optical networks, principal states of polarization
·Fermat's Principle: rays, beam propagation, and the Fresnel diffraction integral
·Matrix Formulation: wave propagation in multi-cavity etalons, multi-layer structures, mode coupling, and supermodes in mode-locked lasers
·Dispersion: chromatic dispersion and polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in fibers and their compensation
·Coupled Resonators Optical Waveguides (CROWs): matrix formulation, critical coupling and dispersion relation
·Nonlinear Optical Effects in Fibers: self-phase modulation, cross-phase modulation, stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), optical four-wave mixing, and spectral reversal (phase conjugation)
·Electroabsorption: waveguide electro-optic Mach-Zehnder modulators
·Photonic Crystals: Bloch wave formulation, photonic bands, photonic bandgaps, periodic layered media, fiber Bragg gratings, and Bragg reflection waveguides
