Optical materials with varying refractive indices are called
graded-index (GRIN) media and they are widely used within many
industries, including telecommunications and medical imaging.
Another recent application is space division multiplexing, an
enormously improved technique for optical data transmission. This
book synthesises recent research developments in this growing
field, presenting both the underlying physical principles behind
optical propagation in GRIN media, and the most important
engineering applications. The principles of wave optics are
employed for solving Maxwell's equations inside a GRIN medium,
ensuring that diffractive effects are fully included. The
mathematical development builds gradually and a variety of exact
and approximate techniques for solving practical problems are
included, in addition to coverage of modern topics such as optical
vortices, photonic spin-orbit coupling, photonic crystals, and
metamaterials. This text will be useful for graduate students and
researchers working in optics, photonics and optical
communications.
