Annotation: Total coverage of introductory photonics for students and engineers

Elements of Photonics is a textbook and reference that treats the connection between photons and electrons. This first volume focuses specifically on photonics in free space and special media, such as anisotropic crystals.

The book includes discussions of important topics in Fourier optics-properties of lenses, optical image processing, and holography-as well as sections on the Gaussian beam, light propagation in anisotropic media, external field effects, and polarization of light and its major implications. Each chapter contains numerous examples and sample problems to elucidate the material. The level of the mathematics is sufficient to explain the essence of the phenomena without being burdensome. This is an ideal introduction to photonics for working engineers and students. Volume I of Elements of Photonics also includes detailed sections on the following topics:

  • Boundaries, near-field optics, and near-field imaging
  • Fabry Perot resonators, beams, and radiation pressure
  • Optical properties of crystals under various external fields
  • Construction and use of the Poincare sphere
  • Phase conjugate optics

Publisher Description:
Zwei in sich abgeschlossene Bände zum Verhalten von Licht in den vielfältigsten optischen Systemen! Elements of Photonics - Dieses zweibändige Werk behandelt Grundlagen wie die Fourier-Optik, Holographie und Polarisation (In Free Space and Special Media - Band 1) sowie die beiden komplementären Gebiete der Faseroptik und der integrierten Optik (For Fiber and Integrated Optics - Band 2). Über 400 Abbildungen, Übungsaufgaben und durchgearbeitete Beispiele erleichtern das Verständnis des Stoffes. Ideal geeignet zum Selbststudium oder als Lehrbuch für einen zweisemestrigen Kurs.
