Fundamentals of Photonics
A complete, thoroughly updated, full-color third edition
Fundamentals of Photonics, Third Editionáis a self-contained and up-to-date introductory-level textbook that thoroughly surveys this rapidly expanding area of engineering and applied physics. Featuring a blend of theory and applications, coverage includes detailed accounts of the primary theories of light, includingáray optics, wave optics, electromagnetic optics, andáphoton optics,áas well as the interaction ofálight and matter. Presented at increasing levels of complexity, preliminary sections build toward more advanced topics, such asáFourier optics and holography, photonic-crystal optics, guided-wave and fiber optics, LEDs and lasers, acousto-opticáand electro-optic devices, nonlinear optical devices, ultrafast optics, optical interconnects and switches,áandáoptical fiber communications.áThe third edition features an entirely new chapter on theáoptics of metals and plasmonic devices. Each chapter contains highlighted equations, exercises, problems, summaries, and selected reading lists. Examples of real systems are included to emphasize the concepts governing applications of current interest. Each of the twenty-four chapters of the second edition has been thoroughly updated.
