Description
Suitable for both graduate and senior undergraduate students, this textbook offers a logical progression through the underlying principles and practical applications of nonlinear photonics. Building up from essential physics, general concepts, and fundamental mathematical formulations, it provides a robust introduction to nonlinear optical processes and phenomena, and their practical applications in real-world devices and systems. Over 45 worked problems illustrate key concepts and provide hands-on models for students, and over 160 end-of-chapter exercises supply students with plenty of scope to master the material. Accompanied by a complete solutions manual for instructors, including detailed explanations of each result, and drawing on the author's 35 years of teaching experience, this is the ideal introduction to nonlinear photonics for students in electrical engineering.
Reviews / Votes
'I highly recommend this comprehensive, self-contained, graduate- and senior-undergraduate-level textbook with its unique features and a pedagogical engineering approach' Barry R. Masters, AAAS, Optica, and SPIE 'The book is well structured and clearly presented, and it can serve as a textbook for a graduate course on nonlinear photonics. It can also serve as a handy reference or self-study book for researchers and engineers who use the knowledge and techniques of nonlinear photonics in their work.' Hongyu Liu, zbMATHMore details
