readout sources in compact disc players to transmitters for optical fiber communication systems. Diode Lasers and Photonic Integrated Circuits provides a comprehensive treatment of this technology, its principles and theory, treating students as well as experienced engineers to an in-depth exploration of this fast-growing field. Covering material for a two-semester course of graduate- or advanced senior-level study, this innovative book presents the engineering aspects first-introduces all elementary concepts, provides the necessary detail to accurately solve real problems-and then presents complex physical aspects only after a complete understanding of the operation of diode lasers has been achieved. Diode Lasers and Photonic Integrated Circuits includes: * Over 270 illustrations * Extensive appendices that provide both review and advanced material, as well as details of derivations * Consistent notation throughout all chapters and appendices that allows for a self-contained treatment and varied levels of study * A series of design examples of relatively complex photonic integrated circuits * Example problems and a toolbox of techniques to apply to new advanced details as they arise * Accurate and consistent calculations that illustrate analysis techniques, while agreeing with experimental data * Complete coverage of matrix multiplication techniques which are more exact, general, and easier to comprehend for modern-day students *An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department.
