Nonlinear-optical (NLO) effects make possible devices that perform many functions, such as wavelength conversion and signal processing, while waveguides enable the devices to be both efficient and compact. This book presents a systematic description of the NLO field, with an emphasis on devices that use ferroelectric waveguides. The earlier chapters provide an introduction to the concepts of waveguides, NLO devices, coupled-mode formalism and phase matching. Then, various NLO interactions and the related characteristics are elucidated and the fabrication of waveguides and structures for quasi-phase matching are discussed. The volume culminates in a survey of device implementations and applications. In this respect, short-wavelength-generation devices, wavelength converters for WDM photonic networks, optical parametric amplifiers, and ultrafast signal processing devices are examined, including the most recent experimental results.
As optical technologies move closer to the core of modern computer
architecture, there arise many challenges in building optical
capabilities from the network to the motherboard. Rapid advances in
integrated optics technologies are making this a reality. However,
no comprehensive, up-to-date reference is available to the
technologies and principles underlying the field. The Encyclopedic
Handbook of Integrated Optics fills this void, collecting the work
of 53 leading experts into a compilation of the most important
concepts, phenomena, technologies, and terms covering all related
fields. This unique book consists of two types of entries: the
first is a detailed, full-length description; the other, a concise
overview of the topic. Additionally, the coverage can be divided
into four broad areas: -A survey of the basics of integrated
optics, exploring theory, practical concerns, and the fundamentals
behind optical devices -Focused discussion on devices and
components such as arrayed waveguide grating, various types of
lasers, optical amplifiers, and optoelectronic devices -In-depth
examination of subsystems including MEMS, optical pickup, and
planar lightwave circuits -Finally, systems considerations such as
multiplexing, demultiplexing, 3R circuits, transmission, and
reception Offering a broad and complete treatment of the field, the
Encyclopedic Handbook of Integrated Optics is the complete guide to
the fundamentals, principles, and applications of integrated optics
technology.
Ranging from fundamental theoretical concepts to advanced device
technologies, this reference/text explores the engineering,
characteristics, and performance of specific semiconductor lasers.
It defines key principles in electromagnetics, optoelectronics, and
laser implementation for novel applications in optical
communications, storage, processing, measurement, and sensing. This
text prepares students for advanced experimental and theoretical
research in semiconductor laser technology and provides the only
comprehensive, systematic, and concise description of semiconductor
lasers available for an understanding of the physics and parameters
of laser operation and function.
