Editorial Reviews

Consolidates the most recent studies on wave guides, semiconductor lasers, fibers and fiber components, and integrated optic components, using the forms of Maxwell's equations in polarizable media and coupled forms of Maxwell's equations as unifying tools. Covers electromagnetic theory and the geometrical optics of slab wave guides; semiclassical laser equations; effective indices, band structure, Fermi levels, rate equations, and structures of semiconductor lasers; optical fibers and their history, fabrication, and dispersion properties; and integrated optics. Problems and references follow each chapter. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
