Although the theory and principles of optical waveguides have been
established for more than a century, the technologies have only
been realized in recent decades. Optical Waveguides: From Theory to
Applied Technologies combines the most relevant aspects of
waveguide theory with the study of current detailed waveguiding
technologies, in particular, photonic devices, telecommunication
applications, and biomedical optics.
With self-contained chapters written by well-known specialists,
the book features both fundamentals and applications. The first
three chapters examine the theoretical foundations and bases of
planar optical waveguides as well as critical optical properties
such as birefringence and nonlinear optical phenomena. The next
several chapters focus on contemporary waveguiding technologies
that include photonic devices and telecommunications. The book
concludes with discussions on additional technological
applications, including biomedical optical waveguides and the
potential of neutron waveguides.
As optical waveguides play an increasing part in modern
technology, photonics will become to the 21st century what
electronics were to the 20th century. Offering both novel insights
for experienced professionals and introductory material for
novices, this book facilitates a better understanding of the new
information era-the photonics century.
