All integrated optical components and devices make use of"waveguides", where light is confined by total internal reflection.The elements in such "photonic chip" are interconnected throughwaveguides, and also the integrated optics components themselvesare fabricated using waveguide configuration, such as couplers,switches, modulators, multiplexors, amplifiers and lasers, etc.These components are integrated in a single substrate, thusresulting in a compact and robust photonic device, which can beoptically connected through optical fibres.
With and increase in the number of integrated optical componentsand devices emerging from the research laboratories to the marketplace an up-to-date book is essential in collecting, summarizingand presenting the new developed photonic devices. This includesfundamental aspects, technical aspects (such as fabricationtechniques and materials) and characterisation andperformance.
This is an advanced text aimed at specialists in the field ofphotonics, but who may be new to the field of integrated photonics.The fundamental aspects have been carefully considered, and all thetopics covered by the book start at a medium level, making ithighly relevant for undergraduate and post-graduate studentsfollowing this discipline.
