Maser and lasers are relatively recent inventions which have rapidly found varied applicatons in many areas of science and industry. Professor Bertolotti's book describes the invention and development of both kinds of device, following their progress historically from 1916, when Einstein first proposed the concept of stimulated emission, until the ...
The aim of the course was to provide state-of-the-art information in the field of advanced devices for large scale integrated photonics. The course focused on the theory and application of optical microresonators for wavelength selection and routing, for switching and for high-speed modulation. Also materials aspects, design and manufacturing of ...
The reports published here cover two main topics: the theoretical basis of the physics of non- crystalline materials, and experimental results. Subjects treated include: optical properties of non-crystalline semiconductors; doping of glassy semiconductors and photo induced effects in chalcogenide glasses and practical applications; methods for ...
Since the invention of the first working laser in 1960, development of these devices has progressed at an unprecedented rate, to the extent that the laser is now a common part of everyday life, from the semiconductor laser used in CD players and telecommunication systems to the high power eximer lasers used in manufacturing processes. This book ...
Optics with applications to photonics is a key enabling technology in telecommunications and optical computing. In the last decade of the 20th century, the technology to fabricate structures on optical to sub-optical wavelength-scale has matured and opened the way for the development of a new generation of photonics devices, which once inserted in ...
