Reflecting changes in the field in the ten years since the publication of the first edition, The Handbook of Photonics, Second Edition explores recent advances that have affected this technology. In this new, updated second edition editor Mool Gupta is joined by John Ballato, strengthening the handbook with their combined knowledge and the continued contributions of world-class researchers. New in the Second Edition: · Information on optical fiber technology and the economic impact of photonics · Coverage of emerging technologies in nanotechnology · Sections on optical amplifiers, and polymeric optical materials The book covers photonics materials, devices, and systems, respectively. An introductory chapter, new to this edition, provides an overview of photonics technology, innovation, and economic development. Resting firmly on the foundation set by the first edition, this new edition continues to serve as a source for introductory material and a collection of published data for research and training in this field, making it the reference of first resort.
Summary: Not recommended (as a reference or introduction)
Rating: 1
I totally miss the purpose of this book.
It is not recommendable as an introduction to the subject as it misses many fundamental issues. So it is written for the experienced reader.
The experienced reader will miss many aspects of photonics and will also not be able to use this as a source of reference data or experiments.
I do not understand what the target audience was.
