Summary
Photonics is extensively revised and updated to keep pace with this unprecedented development. Due to its central role in modern communications technologies, photonics--or optical electronics--has evolved dynamically over the last ten years.Now more tailored to optical communication, the sixth edition integrates material on generating and manipulating optical radiation and designing photonic components for the transmission of information. It also presents a broader theoretical underpinning and more explanations of mathematical derivations than the previous edition. The text describes the basic physics and principles of operation of major photonic components in optical communications and electronics. These components include optical resonators, various lasers, waveguides, optical fibers, gratings, and photonic crystals. photonics , Sixth Edition
