Photonics Modeling and Design delivers a concise introduction to the modeling and design of photonic devices. Assuming a general knowledge of photonics and the operating principles of fibre and semiconductor lasers, this book:

• Describes the analysis of the light propagation in dielectric media
• Discusses heat diffusion and carrier transport
• Applies the presented theory to develop fibre and semiconductor laser models
• Addresses the propagation of short optical pulses in optical fibres
• Puts all modeling into practical context...
