Principles of Photonic Integrated Circuits: Materials, Device Physics, Guided Wave Design

by Richard Osgood jr., Xiang Meng

Overview

This graduate-level textbook presents the principles, design methods, simulation, and materials of photonic circuits. It provides state-of-the-art examples of silicon, indium phosphide, and other materials frequently used in these circuits, and includes a thorough discussion of all major types of devices. In addition, the book discusses the integrated photonic circuits (chips) that are currently increasingly employed on the international technology market in connection with short-range and long-range data communication. Featuring references from the latest research in the field, as well as chapter-end summaries and problem sets, Principles of Photonic Integrated Circuits is ideal for any graduate-level course on integrated photonics, or optical technology and communication.

About the Author

Richard M. Osgood, Jr. is Higgins Prof. (Emeritus) at Columbia University. He has taught courses on photonics and advanced integrated optical devices and circuits at Columbia for the last 34 years. In addition to this, his group has pioneered work in integrated device simulation, new integrated optical materials fabrication methods, silicon passives and nonlinear optical devices and surface physics. He has served as Associate Lab Director at Brookhaven National Laboratory, where he founded its Nanocenter and Materials Sciences Departments. He is Fellow of the IEEE, APS, and OSA, a member of the NAI, and a Guggenheim Fellow. He received the OSA R.W. Wood Award, the Japanese Optical Device Association Honorary Lectureship, and the IEEE Photonics Quantum Electronics Award. Research in his group has led to the founding of 4 start-up companies. He holds 23 patents and has published 500 ISI-indexed journal articles on laser science, materials science, and optical devices and physics.


Xiang Meng is an adjunct faculty in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Columbia University. His research interests concern scientific computing and numerical analysis mainly for emerging photonic devices and systems, ranging from nanolasers and nanosensors, to high-capacity energy-efficient optical interconnects. He has developed courses on photonic devices, photonic systems and applied quantum photonics at Columbia University, with focus on simulation techniques and fabrication considerations for state-of-the-art systems in high-performance computing, communication, and data center platforms.
