Publisher's Synopsis
The further progress in photonics, as well as in many other technological fields is connected with application of new materials. The state-of-the-art field of photonics has considerably fascinated the interest of many societies, professionals and researchers around the world. The great prominence of this field is because of its applicability and possible utilization in almost all scientific and industrial areas. Photonics is the technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. Photonics involves cutting-edge uses of lasers, optics, fiber-optics, and electro-optical devices in numerous and diverse fields of technology - alternate energy, manufacturing, health care, telecommunication, environmental monitoring, homeland security, aerospace, solid state lighting, and many others. This book offers some advanced research topics in photonics. Photonics allow for faster transfer of data than traditional electronic circuits. Integrated photonics allow designers and manufacturers to put thousands of photonic components (such as lasers, detectors, waveguides, modulators, electronic controls, and optical interconnects) together on a single chip, allowing capabilities that were not previously possible. Light-based technologies have revolutionized medicine and opened up international communication via the Internet, and will continue to underpin the future development of human society. The science of light is applied in a technological field known as photonics, and this theme addresses the important ways that photonic devices impact areas such as medicine, communications and energy. The everyday gadgets in our lives such as DVDs, barcode scanners, smart phones, flat screen televisions are all based on photonics. Advanced Research in Photonics is a good contribution for providing the way for further innovations in photonic technology. The chapters have been written and reviewed by well-experienced researchers in their fields. The book will be a good reference for experienced professionals, academics and researchers as well as young researchers only starting their carrier in this field.
