As the limits of electrical performance come within sight, photons
are poised to take over for the electron. But the search continues
for the materials, topologies, and fabrication technologies capable
of producing photonic devices at a reasonable speed and cost.
Taking a fundamentallook at the development of photonic technology
from the macro- to the microscale, Applied Microphotonics
introduces the major principles and technologies underlying the
field.
Following an overview of historical and commercial driving
forces, the authors briefly review the underlying physics,
emphasizing the practical and design implications for photonic
systems. This general discussion lays the foundation for the
remainder of the book, where the authors first introduce the
photonic node and then discuss each subsystem in detail, including
transmitters, couplers and switches, multiplexers and
demultiplexers, receivers, amplifiers, and compensators. The
following chapters explore new technologies such as photonicband
gap structures, materials and fabrication processes, integration
methodologies, and advanced devices such as photonic computers. The
book concludes with a brief introduction to quantum photonics and a
forward look at potential directions of photonics.
Applied Microphotonics encapsulates the recent push toward
all-optical networks and devices with an applications-oriented
perspective. It is ideal for newcomers to the field as well as
anyone curious to know how photonic technology can benefit their
own field.
