Description

The most up-to-date book available on the physics of photonicdevices This new edition of Physics of Photonic Devices incorporatessignificant advancements in the field of photonics that haveoccurred since publication of the first edition (Physics ofOptoelectronic Devices). New topics covered include a brief historyof the invention of semiconductor lasers, the Lorentz dipole methodand metal plasmas, matrix optics, surface plasma waveguides,optical ring resonators, integrated electroabsorptionmodulator-lasers, and solar cells. It also introduces exciting newfields of research such as: surface plasmonics and micro-ringresonators; the theory of optical gain and absorption in quantumdots and quantum wires and their applications in semiconductorlasers; and novel microcavity and photonic crystal lasers,quantum-cascade lasers, and GaN blue-green lasers within thecontext of advanced semiconductor lasers. Physics of Photonic Devices, Second Edition presents novelinformation that is not yet available in book form elsewhere. Manyproblem sets have been updated, the answers to which are availablein an all-new Solutions Manual for instructors. Comprehensive,timely, and practical, Physics of Photonic Devices is an invaluabletextbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses inphotonics and an indispensable tool for researchers working in thisrapidly growing field.
