The convergence of microwave and photonic engineering is an area of increasing interest and research. Photonics bring new functions to microwave systems such as long delay lines, fast spectrum analysis, frequency conversion, probing and control of microwave devices, low phase noise oscillators and ultra-fast analog to digital converters. Conversely, microwave techniques are enabling newgenerations of optical communication systems with capacities exceeding 1Tb/s/fiber. Associated with the evolution of these systems is the development of high-speed optical sources, modulators and detectors with bandwidths extending into the millimeter-wave region. A group of international contributors will provide broad coverage of this dynamic new field. There are currently no directlycompeting titles on the market.
