Features

Provides a complete review of all related fields that constitute modern integrated optics, with many references for further detail

Covers the fundamentals, mathematical equations, principles of operation, device fabrication and testing aspects, and system applications

Presents contributions from international authorities in their respective fields

Details the latest technologies and advances in concert with the underlying principles

Considers why the technologies are necessary, their manufacturing and performance issues, and system impacts

Summary

As optical technologies move closer to the core of modern computer architecture, there arise many challenges in building optical capabilities from the network to the motherboard. Rapid advances in integrated optics technologies are making this a reality. However, no comprehensive, up-to-date reference is available to the technologies and principles underlying the field. The Encyclopedic Handbook of Integrated Optics fills this void, collecting the work of 53 leading experts into a compilation of the most important concepts, phenomena, technologies, and terms covering all related fields.

This unique book consists of two types of entries: the first is a detailed, full-length description; the other, a concise overview of the topic. Additionally, the coverage can be divided into four broad areas:

A survey of the basics of integrated optics, exploring theory, practical concerns, and the fundamentals behind optical devices

Focused discussion on devices and components such as arrayed waveguide grating, various types of lasers, optical amplifiers, and optoelectronic devices

In-depth examination of subsystems including MEMS, optical pickup, and planar lightwave circuits

Finally, systems considerations such as multiplexing, demultiplexing, 3R circuits, transmission, and reception

Offering a broad and complete treatment of the field, the Encyclopedic Handbook of Integrated Optics is the complete guide to the fundamentals, principles, and applications of integrated optics technology.
