UNDERGRADUATE LECTURE NOTES IN PHYSICS PHOTON...

This extended and revised edition will serve as a concise  self-contained  up-to-date
introduction to Photonics for undergraduate students. It can also be used as a primer by
researchers and professionals who start working in the field. Blending theory with technical
descriptions  the book covers a wide range of topics  including the general mechanism of laser
action  continuous and pulsed laser operation  optical propagation in isotropic and anisotropic
media  operating principles and structure of passive optical components  electro-optic and
acousto-optic modulation  solid-state lasers  semiconductor lasers and LEDs  nonlinear optical
phenomena  and optical fiber components and devices. The book concludes with an overview of
applications  including optical communications  telemetry and sensing  industrial and
biomedical applications  solid-state lighting  displays  and photovoltaics. This second edition
includes a set of problems at the end of all but the last chapter. These problems deal with
numerical computations designed to illustrate the magnitudes of important quantities and are
also intended to test the student's ability to apply theoretical formulas.
