Fundamentals of Optical Waveguides is an essential resource for anyresearcher professional or student involved in optics and communicationsengineering. Any reader interested in designing or actively working withoptical devices must have a firm grasp of the principles of lightwavepropagation. Katsunari Okamoto has presented this difficult technology clearlyand concisely with several illustrations and equations. Optical theoryencompassed in this reference includes coupled mode theory nonlinear opticaleffects finite element method beam propagation method staircaseconcatenation method along with several central theorems and formulas.Since the publication of the wellreceived first edition of this book planarlightwave circuits and photonic crystal fibers have fully matured. With thissecond edition the advances of these fibers along with other improvements onexisting optical technologies are completely detailed. This comprehensivevolume enables readers to fully analyze design and simulate opticalatmospheres.
