Optoelectronics - An introduction (2nd edition)

Abstract

The design and operation of optoelectronic devices are discussed in an introductory text for senior undergraduate and graduate students of science and engineering. Chapters are devoted to the fundamental physics of light, the basic principles of solid-state physics, the modulation of light, display devices, lasers, photodetectors, fiber-optic waveguides, optical communication systems, and noncommunications applications of optical fibers. Diagrams, graphs, drawings, and problems with solutions are provided. 129 refs.
