Book Description
Recent advances in photonic devices and fiber optic communication systems have created the need for students in electrical engineering to have considerable exposure to optoelectronics and fiber optics. Elements of Optoelectronics and Fiber Optics is designed for these students. It collects in a single volume the materials relevant to photonic and fiber optic study and presents them in a unified, cohesive fashion. It features an overview of various topics of photonics and an in-depth treatment of selected subjects in lightwave technology. Each subject is treated from the first principles with the emphasis on the physical concepts. Simplifying assumptions are made and special cases are considered so that meaningful results can be deduced without relying on advanced mathematics (calculus and elementary differential equations are prerequisites).
Book Info
More than enough material is presented in the text for a typical one-semester, three-credit-hour course for electrical engineering seniors. DLC: Fiber optics.
