Photonic Signals and Systems: An Introduction e-bog

Build the skills needed to engineer next-generation systems using lightPhotonic Signals and Systems: An Introduction presents essential and current knowledge of light applied in the design of innovative photonic systems that engage both optical and electrical signals. The book demonstrates how to design photonic systems operating within the required approximations of the deployed photonic devices, mathematics of signal processing, and optical phenomena.Systems problems are solved using a variety of mature optical technologies, such as acousto-optics, liquid crystals, liquid optics, optical micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), bulk optics, integrated optics, and optical fibers. End-of-chapter problems and solutions reinforce a thorough understanding of the material.Contents include: Nature of lightElectromagnetic waves, light, and polarizationInterference, coherence, and diffractionOptical building blocks-componentsPhotonic systems using optical micro-electro-mechanical systems devicesPhotonic systems using acousto-optic devicesPhotonic systems using liquid crystal and liquid devicesOptical experiments
