With guided wave optics representing a major growth area in engineering, electrical engineers will find this new text of particular interest. The authors present a simple but comprehensive introduction to the field of optical guided waves and devices. The text provides students with a careful balance between theoretical foundations and up-to-date practical applications-creating a thoroughly readable book. Presenting thorough coverage of the foundations of optical propagation, the book includes basic E/M theory, optical materials, integrated optics and the propagation of bounded guided beams. The theory is supported throughout with design examples, based upon real systems and applications, and fully solved end-of-chapter problems.
Reviews
This book is very suitable for undergraduates who want to learn optical guided wave devices. The authors describe concepts in a simple language. Theory and most important devices are covered. Equations and derivations are elegeant.(not just hand-waving)



Figures are informative and math there is appropriate.
