On-Chip Photonics: Principles, Technology and Applications

On-Chip Photonics: Principles, Technology and Applications reviews the advances of integrated photonic devices and their demonstrated applications.Applications discussed include: ultrafast high-power lasers on a chip, mid-infrared and overtone spectroscopies, all-optical processing on a chip, logic gates on a chip, and cryptography on a chip. The summaries in the book chapters facilitate an understanding of the field and enable the application of optical waveguides in a variety of optical systems. The ultimate goal of this work is aimed at accelerating the transition of on-chip photonics from academia to the industry.Each chapter, where appropriate, provides an overview of the computational tools, fabrication methods and suggestions for the realization of on-chip photonic devices.
