9781848167285: Foundations of Photonic Crystal Fibres

Synopsis

The focus of this book lies at the meeting point of electromagnetic wave guides and photonic crystals. Although these are both widely studied topics, they have been kept apart until recently. The purpose of the first edition of this book was to give state-of-the-art theoretical and numerical viewpoints about exotic fibres which use photonic crystal effects and consequently exhibit some remarkable properties. Since that first edition, photonic crystal fibres have become an important and effective optical device. In this second edition, the description of the theoretical and numerical tools used to study these fibres is enhanced, whilst up-to-date information about the properties, applications and fabrication of these fibres is added.

Revue de presse

... The authors provide a sound and wide coverage on the theoretical foundations of PCFs and the different numerical models that are in use for the design of these fibres. --From the foreword by Professor Fetah Benabid, CNRS, Xlim Research Institut, Université de Limoges

... As befits a book on such an interdisciplinary topic it covers necessary basic information, but also has considerable breadth stretching to cover experimental topics, numerics, sophisticated mathematics and interweaves into all of this the beauty of the underlying physics. --From the foreword by Professor Richard Craster, Professor of Applied Mathematics, Imperial College London
