Opis

A comprehensive and self-contained introductory text covering all the fundamental concepts and major principles of photonics.

Recenzje

'[Principles of Photonics] is an excellent textbook … The book would also be suitable for physics students. … The volume carries readers from the nature of optical fields and the properties of optical materials, through to principles of major photonics functions including the generation, propagation, amplification and detection of optical waves. Readers will thus gain a firm foundation for future forays into photonics devices and systems.' K. Alan Shore, Optics and Photonics News
