This text is intended to provide an in-depth, self-contained,
treatment of optical waveguide theory. We have attempted to
emphasize the underlying physical processes, stressing conceptual
aspects, and have developed the mathematical analysis to parallel
the physical intuition. We also provide comprehensive supplementary
sections both to augment any deficiencies in mathematical
background and to provide a self-consistent and rigorous
mathematical approach. To assist in. understanding, each chapter
con centrates principally on a single idea and is therefore
comparatively short. Furthermore, over 150 problems with complete
solutions are given to demonstrate applications of the theory.
Accordingly, through simplicity of approach and numerous examples,
this book is accessible to undergraduates. Many fundamental topics
are presented here for the first time, but, more importantly, the
material is brought together to give a unified treatment of basic
ideas using the simplest approach possible. To achieve such a goal
required a maturation of the subject, and thus the text was
intentionally developed over a protracted period of the last 10
years."
This is the first book to provide comprehensive coverage of the
basic theory of propagation in planar waveguides and devices. It
offers an accessible and thorough self-contained guide to the
understanding and solution of theoretical and practical design
problems, concentrating on single-mode buried channel devices
fabricated in silica-based technologies. Essential analytical and
numerical techniques for determining practical waveguide attributes
such as mode propagation, cutoff-wavelength, substrate leakage,
bend loss, scattering due to surface roughness and fibre splicing
optimization are given. The emphasis is on simple descriptions
associated with straightforward analytical and numerical
quantification, together with tables of parameter values for
practical waveguides. Several basic passive devices are covered in
detail, including X- and Y-junctions and evanescent single-mode
couplers, as well as optimal curved paths for connecting arrays of
these devices. Together these design recipes provide a prescription
for total device design, including input, output and connecting
waveguides. These planar waveguides and devices are key components
of both the photonic chip and the hybrid photonic/electronic chip,
which will emerge as hardware for incorporation into future optical
communications systems within the information superhighway.
Through a collaboration among twenty legal scholars from eleven
countries in North America, Europe and Asia, Patent Remedies and
Complex Products presents an international consensus on the use of
patent remedies for complex products such as smartphones, computer
networks and the Internet of Things. It covers the application of
both monetary remedies like reasonable royalties, lost profits, and
enhanced damages, as well as injunctive relief. Readers will also
learn about the effect of competition laws and agreements to
license standards-essential patents on terms that are 'fair,
reasonable and non-discriminatory' (FRAND) on patent remedies.
Where national values and policy make consensus difficult,
contributors discuss the nature and direction of further research
required to resolve disagreements. This title is also available as
Open Access on Cambridge Core.

A short story about internal happiness. The main character will
learn about happiness and how/where to use it.
The Third Installment in The Seven Uniters Series Hailey is in a
lot of trouble this time around. She has ended up on a planet ruled
by a religious order that views the Reincarnations as devils. She
has to keep her identity a secret and she has to figure out why she
was sent here. After being saved by a young man riding a huge,
flying beast, Hailey is taken to their home under false pretenses
in order to figure out what she is going to do. As she lays down to
sleep, she suddenly loses herself to a rush of unfamiliar power,
revealing who she is to her hosts as well as revealing the reason
she is there.
The hot, desert planet of Helio is ruled by a tyrannical government
who keeps the people living in constant fear. Hailey's sudden
arrival has forced the government to take harsh action in order to
ensure that she doesn't make a move against them. She soon learns
just how terrible the tyrant Kahn Kridar and his Walinzi soldiers
are as she begins to lead the Revolution. Will she be able to free
the people of the planet Helio? And at what cost?
