An Enlightening Guide to PhotonicsThis unique book teaches photonics through the hands-on measurement techniques common to all photonic devices. Perfect for students and engineers looking for practical expertise rather than abstract theory, this tutorial does more than explain the workings of photonic applications in standard devices like lasers and photodetectors--it offers worked examples of measurement and characterization problems. Filled with these real-world examples that feature commercially available instruments, this practice-based book enables you to analyze, characterize, and handle any kind of photonic device.
Photonics Essentials, Second Edition covers:
Properties of electrons and photons
Photodiodes
Electrical response time of diodes
Photoconductivity
Light-emitting diodes
Organic light-emitting diodes
Lasers
Direct modulation of laser diodes
Current- and capacitance-voltage measurements
Optical fibers and fiber amplifiers
Optical characterization
