Informationen zum Autor Jamroz, Wes R.; Kruzelecky, Roman; Haddad, Emile I. Klappentext Taking a fundamental look at the development of photonic technology from the macro- to the microscale! Applied Microphotonics reviews the major principles and technologies underlying the field. It introduces the photonic node and then discusses each subsystem in detail! including transmitters! couplers and switches! multiplexers and demultiplexers! receivers! amplifiers! and compensators. The following chapters explore new technologies such as photonic band gap structures! materials and fabrication processes! integration methodologies! and advanced devices such as photonic computers. The book concludes with a brief introduction to quantum photonics and a look forward at potential directions of photonics.
