Semiconductor Integrated optics book published
The second edition of my book “Semiconductor Integrated Optics for Switching Light” has just been published (May 2021). Check out:-https://iopscience.iop.org/book/978-0-7503-3519-5 It’s a book on using semiconductor optical waveguides for controlling light. It provides a concise description of the physics and engineering of semiconductor optical waveguides for photonic and electronic switching with a focus on optical communication applications. It provides Python notebooks that illustrate the concepts discussed in the book. The book includes the following topics: linear and nonlinear optics, linear electro-optic effect electroabsorption and electrorefraction, nonlinear refraction, nonlinear optical devices.
There is supporting material in the form of a youtube video
There are are Python and Mathematica notebooks that can be used to help with the design of some of the devices discussed in the book.
