Summary:
"This book is self-contained and unified in presentation. It covers both semiconductor and optical fiber based devices. It can be used as an advanced text by graduate students and by practicing engineers It describes the latest development in fabrication technologies for semiconductor lasers, photodetectors, modulators, nanostructures, high power lasers, short pulse generation, and photonic crystal fibers It describes the latest development in applications of fiber amplifiers and fiber lasers in optical transmission, industrial systems, supercontinuum generation and fiber based sensors The book describes the current state of the art and in addition describes the fundamentals using Appendices. The derivation of the fundamental equations along with problems for each chapter allows the book to be used as a textbook"-- Provided by publisher.
