{"product_id":"integrated-photonics-isbn-9780470848685","title":"Integrated Photonics","description":"All integrated optical components and devices make use of \"waveguides\", where light is confined by total internal reflection. The elements in such \"photonic chip\" are interconnected through waveguides, and also the integrated optics components themselves are fabricated using waveguide configuration, such as couplers, switches, modulators, multiplexors, amplifiers and lasers, etc. These components are integrated in a single substrate, thus resulting in a compact and robust photonic device, which can be optically connected through optical fibres.\u003cbr\u003e With and increase in the number of integrated optical components and devices emerging from the research laboratories to the market place an up-to-date book is essential in collecting, summarizing and presenting the new developed photonic devices. This includes fundamental aspects, technical aspects (such as fabrication techniques and materials) and characterisation and performance.\u003cbr\u003e This is an advanced text aimed at specialists in the field of photonics, but who may be new to the field of integrated photonics. The fundamental aspects have been carefully considered, and all the topics covered by the book start at a medium level, making it highly relevant for undergraduate and post-graduate students following this discipline.Ein modernes Werk, das Informationen über neue optische Bauelemente zusammenstellt, zusammenfasst und kommentiert.\u003cbr\u003e - einziges derzeit erhältliches aktuelles Buch zu diesem Gebiet\u003cbr\u003e - wendet sich hauptsächlich an Spezialisten auf dem Gebiet der Photonik, für die das Gebiet der integrierten Photonik neu sein könnte\u003cbr\u003e - erläutert Grundlagen, technische Aspekte (Herstellung und Materialien), Charakterisierung und Leistungskenndaten verschiedenster neuer optoelektronischer Bauelemente  Preface.  \u003cp\u003eAbout the Author.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction to Integrated Photonics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReview of the Electromagnetic  Theory of Light.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTheory of Integrated Optic Waveguides.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCoupled Mode Theory: Waveguide Gratings.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLight Propagation in Waveguides: The Beam Propagation Method.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNote.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFurther Reading.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 1: Complex Notation of the Electric and Magnetic Fields.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 2: Phase Shifts for TE and TM Incidence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 3: Marcatili's Method for Solving Guided Modes in Rectangular Channel Waveguides.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 4: Demonstration of Formula (4.3).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 5: Derivation of Formula (4.4).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 6: Fast Fourier Algorithm.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 7: Implementation of the Crank-Nicolson Propagation Scheme.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 8: List of Abbreviations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 9: Some Useful Physical Constants.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGinés Lifante\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eIntegrated Photonics: Fundamentals\u003c\/i\u003e, published by Wiley.\u003c\/p\u003e  Integrated Photonics deals with the miniaturisation of photonic devices. These devices are suited to optical communication systems, such as connection with the high processing speed capability of the integrated photonic devices. There are an increasing number of integrated optical components and devices emerging from research laboratories on to the market. This book highlights the latest developments in photonic technology and includes fundamentals of integrated optics necessary to the understanding of the so-called \"photonic chips\", including the description of light propagation in complex waveguide structures.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Written in a highly accessible and well-illustrated format, this book will serve as an advanced reference as well as an introductory text for those coming into contact with photonics for the first time.
