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 the past decade or more, the art relating to modern optical waveguides has evolved as a nighly focused interdis- ciplinary field, so attractive, stimulating and full of far- reachin3 promise that no parallel could be found earlier in other branches of applied sciences except, perhaps, in solid- state electronics and computer technology. This Proceedings, with a selection of 53 papers and briefs by 96 authors of 16 countries, is of real internation- al dimensions. It is the outgrowth of the International Symposium held June 20-23, 1983, the first international meeting on this subject...

The above consideration indicates that at present many of the experi mental facts on PS in animals can be quantitatively explained within the limits of the "universal" photoreceptor membrane concept. Of course, existence of preferential orientation of the absorbing dipoles in the tubuli of the rhabdomeres can not be totally rejected. We hope that the concept of the "universal" photoreceptor membrane may serve as the useful instrument when dealing with newly discovered properties of visual cells so that true mechanisms of electrical and optical coupling will be searched for instead of...
