Since the invention of the laser, our fascination with the photon
has led to one of the most dynamic and rapidly growing fields of
technology. An explosion of new materials, devices, and
applications makes it more important than ever to stay current with
the latest advances. Surveying the field from fundamental concepts
to state-of-the-art developments, Photonics: Principles and
Practices builds a comprehensive understanding of the theoretical
and practical aspects of photonics from the basics of light waves
to fiber optics and lasers.
Providing self-contained coverage and using a consistent
approach, the author leads you step-by-step through each topic.
Each skillfully crafted chapter first explores the theoretical
concepts of each topic and then demonstrates how these principles
apply to real-world applications by guiding you through
experimental cases illuminated with numerous illustrations.
Coverage is divided into six broad sections, systematically working
through light, optics, waves and diffraction, optical fibers, fiber
optics testing, and laboratory safety. A complete glossary, useful
appendices, and a thorough list of references round out the
presentation. The text also includes a 16-page insert containing 28
full-color illustrations.
Containing several topics presented for the first time in book
form, Photonics: Principles and Practices is simply the most
modern, comprehensive, and hands-on text in the field.
