Nonlinear Photonics

Description

Suitable for both graduate and senior undergraduate students, this textbook offers a logical progression through the underlying principles and practical applications of nonlinear photonics. Building up from essential physics, general concepts, and fundamental mathematical formulations, it provides a robust introduction to nonlinear optical processes and phenomena, and their practical applications in real-world devices and systems. Over 45 worked problems illustrate key concepts and provide hands-on models for students, and over 160 end-of-chapter exercises supply students with plenty of scope to master the material. Accompanied by a complete solutions manual for instructors, including detailed explanations of each result, and drawing on the author's 35 years of teaching experience, this is the ideal introduction to nonlinear photonics for students in electrical engineering.

Jia-Ming Liu is Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Northrop Grumman Optoelectronics Chair in Electrical Engineering, and Associate Dean of the Henry Samueli School of Engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles. He is the author of Photonic Devices (2005), Principles of Photonics (2016), and a co-author of Graphene Photonics (2019), and a Fellow of the Optical Society of America, the American Physical Society, the IEEE, and the Guggenheim Foundation.
