Riassunto

Photonic devices lie at the heart of the communications revolution, and have become a large and important part of the electronic engineering field, so much so that many colleges now treat this as a subject in its own right. With this in mind, the author has put together a unique textbook covering every major photonic device, and striking a careful balance between theoretical and practical concepts. The book assumes a basic knowledge of optics, semiconductors and electromagnetic waves. Many of the key background concepts are reviewed in the first chapter. Devices covered include optical fibers, couplers, electro-optic devices, magneto-optic devices, lasers and photodetectors. Problems are included at the end of each chapter and a solutions set is available. The book is ideal for senior undergraduate and graduate courses, but being device driven it is also an excellent engineers' reference.

Review:

'This book is clearly and carefully written. It excels in the clarity of figures and completely worked-out numerical examples. Numerous problems and carefully selected references further enhance the usefulness of this text ... a welcome addition to the field of photonic engineering and is highly recommended as a suitable text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in this area.' Nicolaas Bloembergen, College of Optical Sciences, University of Arizona

'...Jia-Ming Liu has been thorough in his treatment of this complex subject ... In all parts the treatment of the subject is comprehensive and mathematical, but also quite readable with a myriad of diagrams helping to illustrate the points made. The work is aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students looking to specialize in this field, but will be a useful text for any engineer dealing with these devices.' IEE Communications Engineer
