It offers a valuable overview of the field for students and researchers alike and identifies directions for future research in guided wave and photonic device technology.

Download or read book Guided Wave Optics written by Anurag Sharma and published by Anshan Pub. This book was released on 2006 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guided Wave Optics forms the basic science underlying the field of optical fiber communication and integrated topics. These areas have seen tremendous growth over the past three decades and continue to be in the forefront of the research under the broad area of photonics. This volume contains articles by authors who have been active in these areas for over two decades. It covers three broad areas - physics of guidance in optical waveguides, guided wave optical components and tools of analysis of such waveguides and components. The topics covered are: - evolution of single mode fiber designs including photonic crystal fibers, polarization effects in optical fibers, physics underlying fiber amplifiers like EDFA and Raman amplifiers, spacial and temporal solitons in optical fibers, non linear optical effects in optical wave guides, all-fiber components and sensors. The volume also includes analytical and numerical tools to analyse fiber and integrated optical waveguides. This volume should serve as a useful introduction to some of the contemporary areas of research and applications on Guided Wave Optics

Download or read book Guided wave Optoelectronics written by R. C. Alferness and published by Springer Series in Electronics. This book was released on 1988 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first guided-wave components that employed signals in the form of light beams traveling along thin films were fabricated a little more than two decades ago. The parallel development of semiconductor lasers and the subsequent availability of low-loss optical fibers made possible the imple- mentation of completely optical systems for communications, signal pro- cessing and other applications that had used only electronic circuitry in the past. Referred to as integrated optics, this technology has been rein- forced by utilizing electronic components that act as controlling elements or perform other functions for which the optical counterparts are not as effec- tive. The broader area thus generated was aptly named optoelectronics and it currently represents a fascinating, rapidly evolving and most promising technology. Specifically, the amalgamation of electronic and optics compo- nents into an integrated optoelectronics format is expected to provide a wide range of systems having miniaturized, high speed, broad band and reliable components for telecommunications, data processing, optical computing and other applications in the near and far future. This book is intended to cover primarily the optical portion of the op- toelectronics area by focusing on the theory and applications of components that use guided optical waves. Hence all aspects of integrated optics are dis- cussed, but optoelectronic components having primarily electronic rather than optical functions have not been included. Each chapter has been writ- ten by experts who have actively participated in developing the specific areas addressed by them.

Download or read book Guided Wave Optics written by Alan Rolf Mickelson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has grown out of a need for a beginning graduate level text which emphasizes the unifying concepts of the field of guided wave optics. Over the past twenty years, progress in this field has been so rapid, and therefore so helter-skelter, that it is hard, even for the fully involved practitioner no less the aspiring student, to see the unifying concepts. As will be discussed more fully below, there are at present quite a number of texts in the guided wave area. These texts vary in nature from the popular treatise to the voluminous scholarly work. I know of none, however, that treats the waveguide, semi conductor laser, fiber and fiber component, and integrated optic component all on equal footing using the forms of Maxwell's equations in polarizable media and coupled forms of Maxwell's equations as unifying tools. This book emphasizes basic concepts, yet is quantitative in nature and contains numerous applications. The book is designed to be used by the beginning graduate student or the professional who needs to review or catch up on the basics. Here at the University of Colorado, this text is generally used for a follow-up course to one in Physical Optics. The Physical Optics text employed, also written by the present author, primarily includes material which should be familiar to students with a strong background in optics or practitioners of guided waves.

Download or read book Guided Wave Acousto Optics written by Chen S. Tsai and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of integrated- or guided-wave optics has experienced significant and continuous growth since its inception in the late 1960s. There has been a considerable increase in research and development activity in this field worldwide and some significant advances in the realization of working in tegrated optic devices and modules have been made in recent years. In fact, there have already been some commercial manufacturing and technical ap plications of such devices and modules. The guided-wave-acoustooptics involving Bragg interactions between guided optical waves and surface acoustic waves is one of the areas of in tegrated-optics that has reached some degree of scientific and technological maturity. This topical volume is devoted to an in-depth treatment of this emerging branch of science and technology. Presented in this volume are concise treatments on bulk-wave acoustooptics, guided-wave optics, and surface acoustic waves, and detailed studies of guided-wave acoustooptic Bragg diffraction in three promising material substrates, namely, LiNb0 , 3 ZnO/Si0 , and GaAs, the resulting wide band modulators and deflectors, 2 and applications. The chapters cover not only the basic principles and the oretical analysis, but also the design, fabrication, and measurement of the resulting devices and modules, and their applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The object of this school, held at Cargese, Corsica (France) from August 12th to 24th 1991, was the presentation of the field of guided wave nonlinear optics in a comprehensive, coherent, and heuristic fashion. It seems appropriate that this school began with an historical introduction by Professor Nicolaas Bloembergen of Harvard, the acknowledged "father" of nonlinear optics, in general, and concluded with a round table discussion headed by Dr. Eric Spitz, the Scientific Director of a multinational electronics company interested in developing industrial applications of guided wave nonlinear optics. The lectures covered both the theoretical framework of the field and applications to basic scientific research, optical communications and technical instrumentation. Specific topics developed included materials for guided wave nonlinear optics, nonlinear interactions using integrated optical guides, nonlinear surface waves, solitons, fiber nonlinear optics, ultra-fast coupler switching as well as the related topic of fiber and integrated optical lasers and amplifiers. Lectures have also been devoted to squeezed states, chaos and strange attractors. The subjects covered by the school underlines one of the major ways in which this field has evolved over the past thirty some odd years. The path from the original experiments with materials requiring mega-watt power lasers to the recent developments in guided wave configurations using milliwatt power diode lasers is marked by the conjunction of ever improving fundamental scientific comprehension and continuing technological developments.
