Reviews

Nice fundamental reviews form the basis for more advanced topical coverage. The excellent cast of contributors provides credible treatment of diverse fields of optics and photonics. ... This book provides an excellent overview of dynamic interdisciplinary fields. -Dr. Mark A. Mentzer, US Army Research Laboratory This book is based on a three-week course held in India in 2011. It has 20 chapters covering a wide range of topics, from the basics of optical fibers and guided wave optics to biophotonics. ... There is even a wonderful chapter of guided-wave Fourier optics. Overall, the individual chapters are well-written and illustrated. The concepts are clearly explained and not lost in the mathematics. This would be an easy read for advanced undergraduates and graduate students who are interested in photonics research, especially guided-wave technology. The editors should be congratulated on their choice of topics in this coherent and self-consistent book. -Vasudevan Lakshminarayanan, University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, from Optics and Photonics News
