"Due to its central role in modern communications technologies, photonics - or optical electronics - has evolved dynamically over the last ten years. Photonics: Optical Electronics in Modern Communications by Amnon Yariv and Pochi Yeh is extensively revised and updated to keep pace with this development. Now more tailored to optical communication, the sixth edition integrates material on generating and manipulating optical radiation and designing photonic components for the transmission of information. It also presents a broader theoretical underpinning and more explanations of mathematical derivations than the previous edition." "Including numerous examples throughout, Photonics is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in photonics, optoelectronics, or optical communications. It is also a useful reference for practicing engineers and scientists."--BOOK JACKET.
