Fundamentals of Optical Waveguides gives a complete theoretical basis of optical fibers and planar lightwave circuits. Fundamental analytical waveguide theories are introduced and various numerical methods are are presented. Recent topics on planar lightwave circuit (PLC) devices are described including operational principles of arrayed-waveguide grating multiplexers (AWGs) and their applications. Readers will acquire a thorough understanding of optical fibers and waveguides as well as capabilities of designing and simulating novel optical devices. Key Features* Thorough and informative description of waveguide theory* First book dealing with principles and applicaitons of AWGs and PLCs* Full description of nonlinear optical effects in optical fibers such as optical solitons and four wave mixing etc* Detailed theory on light coupling phenomena in directional couplers and Bragg gr
Editorial : "the second edition of Fundamentals of Optical Waveguides emphasizes optical theory, including coupled-mode theory, nonlinear optical effects, and finite element, beam propagation and staircase concatenation methodsA new chapter on arrayed-waveguide grating discusses the principles of operation, fundamental characteristics and analytical treatment of the grating demultiplexing properties." - Photonics Spectra, Sept. 2006
I'm surprised three of the prior four reviewers found this title deserving of just four stars. Shawn gave to Mehta's previous books. As much of a place he holds as critical mind of the 20th centuryhe was a hard drinker, a smoker, and eventually the reader can develop a sense that he was a flawed and challenged person much like the rest of us. Well written, researched! Having lived through the Cold War & actually been stationed at SAC Headquarters (Dr. Ved Mehta's endearing personality and superb writing style make an irresistable combination. Naturally, a book like this is bound to attract controversy and invite others to challenge the choices made. Intriguing and informative look at a title (and by extension, an industry) in transition. Provides a unique view to Data structures and their applications.. This compilation of art and investment studies is a helpful guide. Art historian Robe
