Guided Wave Photonics

In the early part of this century, silicon photonics emerged as one of the most important developments for interconnecting ultra high speed electronic subsystems on an ultra large scale of integrated electronic circuits. Guided wave technology supplies the techniques for these interconnections. Along with covering fundamentals, this book provides an advanced understanding of guided optical wave devices. It focuses on the essentials of the technology and applies these aspects to modern optical fiber communications and signal processing. MATLAB code is included throughout the text.
