A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Total coverage of introductory photonics for students and engineers

Elements of Photonics is a textbook and reference that treats the connection between photons and electrons. This first volume focuses specifically on photonics in free space and special media, such as anisotropic crystals.

The book includes discussions of important topics in Fourier optics–properties of lenses, optical image processing, and holography–as well as sections on the Gaussian beam, light propagation in anisotropic media, external field effects, and polarization of light and its major implications. Each chapter contains numerous examples and sample problems to elucidate the material. The level of the mathematics is sufficient to explain the essence of the phenomena without being burdensome. This is an ideal introduction to photonics for working engineers and students. Volume I of Elements of Photonics also includes detailed sections on the following topics:
∗ Boundaries, near–field optics, and near–field imaging
∗ Fabry Perot resonators, beams, and radiation pressure
∗ Optical properties of crystals under various external fields
∗ Construction and use of the Poincaré sphere
∗ Phase conjugate optics

Présentation de l'éditeur

Deals with photonics in free space and special media such as anisotropic crystals.
∗ Covers all important topics from Fourier optics, such as the properties of lenses, optical image processing, and holography to the Gaussian beam, light propagation in anisotropic media, external field effects, polarization of light and its major applications.
∗ The book is self–contained and is suitable as a textbook for a two–semester course.
∗ Provides a particularly good discussion of the electromagnetics of light in bounded media.
∗ Only book that treats the two complementary topics, fiber and integrated optics.
∗ Careful and thorough presentation of the topics that makes it well suited for courses and self study.
∗ Includes numerous figures, problems and worked–out solutions.
∗ Heavily illustrated with over 400 figures specially formatted to aid in comprehension.
