Summary

The first edition of Fundamentals of Photonics featured 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. Photonics technology has been developing at a rapid pace since this publication 15 years ago. In the new, full color Second Edition of this landmark book, two new chapters have been written to cover the advances in the field of photonics: Photonic-Crystal Optics and Ultrafast Optics. All the chapters have been updated and many new sections have been added including Laguerre-Gaussian beams, Sellemeier-equation analysis, photonic-crystal waveguides, holey and photonic-crystal fibers, microsphere resonators, optical coherence tomography, photon orbital angular momentum, Bohr theory, Raman amplifiers, low-noise avalanche photodiodes, tuning curves, and dispersion management.All figures have been redrawn for clarity and are now in living color. References to book and articles have been thoroughly updated, and much of the material has been rewritten to improve readability. New problems and exercises are provided and, once again, a solutions manual for the exercises is available to instructors.
