Integrated PhotonicsFundamentals\nAuthor(s): Gins Lifante\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc, United States\nImprint: John Wiley & Sons Inc\nISBN-13: 9780470848685, 978-0470848685\nSynopsis\nAll integrated optical components and devices make use of \""waveguides\"", where light is confined by total internal reflection. The elements in such \""photonic chip\"" are interconnected through waveguides, and also the integrated optics components themselves are fabricated using waveguide configuration, such as couplers, switches, modulators, multiplexors, amplifiers and lasers, etc. These components are integrated in a single substrate, thus resulting in a compact and robust photonic device, which can be optically connected through optical fibres.\n With and increase in the number of integrated optical components and devices emerging from the research laboratories to the market place an up-to-date book is essential in collecting, summarizing and presenting the new develo.
