Fundamentals of Photonics (3rd Edition) – eBook

Fundamentals of Photonics, 3rd Edition, (PDF) is a self-contained and up-to-date introductory-level textbook that comprehensively surveys this rapidly expanding area of engineering and applied physics. Featuring a blend of theory and applications, coverage covers detailed accounts of the primary theories of light, including ray optics, electromagnetic optics, wave optics, and photon optics, as well as the interaction of light and matter. Presented at increasing levels of complexity, preliminary sections build toward more advanced topics like Fourier optics and holography, LEDs, photonic-crystal optics, lasers, guided-wave and fiber optics, nonlinear optical devices, acousto-optic and electro-optic devices, ultrafast optics, optical interconnects and switches, and optical fiber communications. The latest 3rd edition features an entirely new chapter on the optics of metals and plasmonic devices. Every chapter contains highlighted equations, problems, exercises, summaries, and selected reading lists. Examples of real systems are included to highlight the concepts governing applications of current interest. Each of the twenty-four chapters of the second edition has been completely updated.
