Synopsis

Professor Hunsperger's "Integrated Optics" is comprehensive enough for use both as a classroom text (practice problems are included) and as a reference work. All chapters have been revised and updated in this third edition and a new chapter on quantum well devices has been added. The book offers detailed descriptions of the phenomena, devices and technology used in optical integrated circuits and their relationships to fibre optics are described. The trend in telecommunications toward the use of single mode systems operating at the longer wavelengths of 1.3 and 1.55m is explained, using illustrations of recently developed devices and systems. Broader coverage of GaInAsP devices and optical integrated circuits is provided and the emerging new techniques of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and metalorganic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) are described. A discussion of the development of hybrid optical integrated circuits in lithium niobate is also included. This textbook on optics, electrical engineering and physics is intended for students and researchers.
