This book offers readers a comprehensive, detailed analysis and treatment of optical waveguides (fiber, slab), an essential component of ultra-high bandwidth long, medium and short-haul telecommunication. The author describes an analysis scheme for optical waveguides that combines both geometric ray optics and Maxwell’s equations-based classical electrodynamics. This unique approach enables readers to develop an intuitive understanding of this topic, starting with macro properties, e.g., V parameter of an optical fiber, and progressively refining the analysis to individual modes of propagation through an optical waveguide. An exhaustive set of diagrams highlight the key features of an optical waveguide property, such as acceptance angle, meridional and skew rays in an optical fiber, or signal attenuation and dispersion in an optical waveguide. The author also provides a set of ready-to-use, ANSI C executables (for both Linux and Windows) that enable the reader to e.g, determine the allowed propagation modes (even, odd TE TM) of a graded, step index optical fiber and a slab waveguide.

- Offers readers a single-source reference to the analysis and design of optical waveguides;
- Begins with macro-level analysis of the properties of optical waveguides and dives deeply into details in a step-by-step manner, enabling readers to develop an intuitive understanding;
- Includes C language executables, along with optical waveguide analysis and design examples to demonstrate their use in context.

Amal Banerjee had his high school and a small part of his college education in Kolkata India. He then got admitted to the University of Texas at Austin Texas, USA, where he completed his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Physics(with highest honors), and then transferred to the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the same University where he completed a MSE(Master of Science in Engineering) and all his course work for a PhD. During his stay in the USA, he has worked as consulting engineer at a number of high technology companies as Silicon Laboratories (www.silabs.com), SMC Networks(www.smc.com), VI Technology (www.vitechnology.com), Object Reservoir Inc., Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation, Austin Texas(MCC) etc., He has also worked as a Research Associate at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories, Berkeley California and Brookhaven National Laboratories, Islip New York. He is now the Engineering Manager atAnalog Electronics.
