Graphene Photonics

Description

Understand the fundamental concepts, theoretical background, major experimental observations, and device applications of graphene photonics with this self-contained text. Systematically and rigorously developing each concept and theoretical model from the ground up, it guides readers through the major topics, from basic properties and band structure to electronic, optical, optoelectronic, and nonlinear optical properties, and plasmonics and photonic devices. The connections between theory, modeling, experiment, and device concepts are demonstrated throughout, and every optical process is analyzed through formal electromagnetic analysis. Suitable for both self-study and a one-semester or one-quarter course, this is the ideal text for graduate students and researchers in photonics, optoelectronics, nanoscience and nanotechnology, and optical and solid-state physics, who are working in this rapidly developing field.

Jia-Ming Liu is Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Associate Dean of the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science, at the University of California, Los Angeles. He is the author of Principles of Photonics (Cambridge, 2016), and Photonic Devices (Cambridge, 2005), and a fellow of the Optical Society of America, the American Physical Society, the IEEE, and the Guggenheim Foundation. I-Tan Lin is a hardware engineer at Intel, California, and his current research interests include graphene-based optoelectronics, terahertz frequency devices, and plasmonics.

'The lead author of this work is both literally and figuratively a distinguished university professor with a strong research track record in photonics ... His co-author brings an industrial perspective to research in graphene-based optoelectronics. The reader is thus in safe hands. The admirable outcome of their work is a text which combines fundamental concepts, and theoretical background together with experimental observations and device applications of graphene photonics ... The volume is largely self-contained so that this book alone should be sufficient to bring the reader to the forefront of graphene photonics research ... One would anticipate widespread adoption of this book to support the hoped-for growth in graphene photonics technology.' K. Alan Shore, Contemporary Physics
