Slow Light - Science and Applications

Informationen zum Autor Jacob B. Khurgin, Rodney S. Tucker Klappentext The exotic effects of slow light have been widely observed in the laboratory. However! current literature fails to explore the wider field of slow light in photonic structures and optical fibers. Reflecting recent research! Slow Light: Science and Applications presents a comprehensive introduction to slow light and its potential applications! including storage! switching! DOD applications! and nonlinear optics. The book covers fundamentals of slow light in various media! including atomic media! semiconductors! fibers! and photonic structures.Leading authorities in such diverse fields as atomic vapor spectroscopy! fiber amplifiers! and integrated optics provide an interdisciplinary perspective. They uncover potential applications in both linear and nonlinear optics. While it is impossible to account for all the captivating developments that have occurred in the last few years! this book provides an exceptional survey of the current state of the slow light field.
