CRC Press

Describing a range of photonic principles and techniques, this book gives insight into the underlying physical processes. It presents a detailed treatment of lasers, waveguides, modulators, detectors, non-linear optics and optical signal processing. It also includes sections on photonic crystal fibres, and distributed optical-fibre sensing. > \nThe importance of photonics in science and engineering is widely recognized and will continue to increase through the foreseeable future. In particular, applications in telecommunications, medicine, astronomy, industrial sensing, optical computing and signal processing continue to become more diverse. \nEssentials of Photonics, Second Edition describes the entire range of photonic principles and techniques in detail. Previously named Essentials of Optoelectronics, this newly named second edition of a bestseller felects changes that have occurred in this field. The book presents a new approach that concentrates on the physical principbestles.
