Beginning by summarizing topics in optics and electromagnetism, the book discusses optical planar waveguides, linear optical fiber, the propagation of linear pulses, laser diodes, optical amplifiers, optical receivers, finite-difference time-domain method, beam propagation method and some wavelength division devices, solitons, solar cells and metamaterials. Assuming only a basic knowledge of physics and numerical methods, the book is ideal for engineers, physicists and practicing scientists. It concentrates on the operating principles of optical devices, as well as the models and numerical methods used to describe them"-- UR - http://assets.cambridge.org/97811070/05525/cover/9781107005525.jpg ER -
