Book Description
The Essence of Dielectric Waveguides provides an overview of the fundamental behavior of guided waves, essential to finding and interpreting the results of electromagnetic waveguide problems. Clearly and concisely written as well as brilliantly organized, this volume includes a detailed description of the fundamentals of electromagnetics, as well as a new discussion on boundary conditions and attenuation. It also covers the propagation characteristics of guided waves along classical canonical dielectric structures – planar, circular cylindrical, rectangular and elliptical waveguides. Modern applications of the technology include optical fibers, fiber solitons and WDM shepherd pulses, ultra low-loss THz guides, and plasmon sub-wavelength guides. They also include photonic structures, metamaterial guides, and moving medium guides. All of the above are examined in detail in this thoroughly comprehensive volume. What’s more, the authors have included extensive coverage of inhomogeneous structures and approximate methods, as well as several powerful numerical approaches specifically applicable to dielectric waveguides.
Editorial Reviews
Review
From the reviews:
“The book is intended to cover the fundamentals of wave-guiding structures over the whole electromagnetic spectrum. … workers in the field, who employ exclusively numerical methods to treat their problems, would greatly profit reading this comprehensive text … . The coverage of subjects is ample, diversified, and many up to date arguments are treated. … very useful to researchers and students involved with optical communications photonics and applied electromagnetics. … researcher in the field should have this book in his/her personal library.” (Mario Bertolotti, Contemporary Physics, Vol. 52 (1), 2011)
From the Back Cover
The Essence of Dielectric Waveguides Softcover reprint of hardcover 1st ed. 2008 Edition is a comprehensive overview of the fundamental behavior of dielectric waveguides, essential to interpreting the numerical data results of electromagnetic waveguide problems. A wide range of waveguide coverage, from the familiar types (step-index optical fiber and planar) to the more striking (elliptical and triangular-core fibers), offers readers a rare in-depth look into the dielectric waveguide field.
Readers will find an analysis of important applications in optical communications, such as optical fibers, fiber solitons, WDM shepherd pulses, ultra low-loss THz guides, photonic crystal guides, metamaterial guides, and plasmon sub-wavelength guides. Thorough mathematical treatment, in addition to experimental data and measurements, are provided throughout the chapters as support to the theories discussed. Researchers and engineers involved with optical communications, photonics and applied electromagnetics will find The Essence of Dielectric Waveguides Softcover reprint of hardcover 1st ed. 2008 Edition a valuable reference.
