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 view of the theory and themost recent technology in Integrated Optics. Completely revised and updated from previous edition Includes new chapter on nanophotonics Useful for beginners in the field as well as experienced scientists and engineers Contains over 130 exercises INDICE: Introduction.- Optical Waveguide Modes.- Theory of Optical Waveguides.- Waveguide Fabrication Techniques.- Polymer and Fiber Integrated Optics.-Losses in Optical Waveguides.- Waveguide Input and Output Couplers.- Couplingbetween Waveguides.- Electro-Optic Modulators.- Acousto-Optic Modulators.- Basic Principles of Light Emission in Semiconductors.- Semiconductor Lasers.- Optical Amplifiers.- Heterostructure, Confined-Field Lasers.- Distributed-Feedback Lasers.- Direct Modulation of Semiconductor Lasers.- Integrated Optic Detectors.- Quantum-Well Devices.- Micro-Optical-Electro-Mechanical Devices.- Applications of Integrated Optics.- Photonic and Microwave Wireless Systems.- Nanophotonics.
