Integrated Optics explains the subject of optoelectronic devices and their use in integrated optics and fiber optic systems. The approach taken is to emphasize the physics of how devices work and how they can be (and have been) used in various applications as the field of optoelectronics has progressed from microphotonics to nanophotonics. Illustrations and references from technical journals have been used to demonstrate the relevance of the theory to currently important topics in industry. By reading this book, scientists, engineers, students and engineering managers can obtain an overall...

This book summarises recent progress in the science and technology of rare-earth doped nitrides, providing a snapshot of the field at a critical point in its development.

Improved theoretical understanding of the behaviour of f-electrons in solids, driven by accelerating computational capability, has coincided with an improved ability of crystal growers to incorporate rare earth elements reproducibly in wide bandgap semiconductor hosts that are favoured for optoelectronic and spintronic applications. The device possibilities of these advanced materials are promising but by no means...

The contents of "Jet Cutting Technology" cover the traditional aspects of both water and fluid jets, including fluid mechanics, cutting and drilling, abrasive jets, pulse jets, jet maniuplation, jet/target interaction, nozzle systems, pumps and intensifiers, surface treatment, and cleaning. These techniques have a wide application in a number of...

Metamaterials--artificially structured materials with engineered electromagnetic properties--have enabled unprecedented flexibility in manipulating electromagnetic waves and producing new functionalities. This book details recent advances in the study of optical metamaterials, ranging from fundamental aspects to up-to-date implementations, in one unified treatment. Important recent developments and applications such as superlens and cloaking devices are also treated in detail and made understandable. The planned monograph can serve as a very timely book for both newcomers and advanced...
