ABOUT THE BOOK AND CD-ROM

Optoelectronics and Photonics: Principles and Practices is an introductory up-to-date textbook in optoelectronic and photonic devices suitable for a half or one semester course at the undergraduate level in electrical engineering, engineering physics and materials science and engineering departments. Although written for undergraduate students, it can also be used at the graduate level as an introductory course by including some of the selected topics in the CDROM. It assumes that the students have covered calculus and complex numbers and would have taken a basic course in semiconductors, that is, be familiar with basic energy band diagrams. The principles are developed with the minimum of mathematics and with the emphasis on physical concepts. There are numerous solved problems and worked examples to relate the concepts to practical devices.

Charles Townes won the Nobel prize in 1964 in Physics for fundamental work in the field of quantum electronics, which has led to the construction of oscillators and amplifiers based on the maser-laser principle

Arthur L. Schawlow in 1961 with a ruby laser built by his Stanford group. The solid state laser was a dark ruby crystal containing Cr^³⁺ ions. Lasing is obtained by stimulated emission from the Cr^³⁺ ions.
