Microwave Circuit Design Using Linear and Nonlinear Techniques George D. Vendelin, Anthony M. Pavio and Ulrich L. Rohde This one volume source for the computer optimization of microwave passive and active circuits is a complete introduction to modern microwave engineering using the S-parameter technique. The text presents state-of-the-art linear and nonlinear designs using computer-aided methods popular in the design and manufacture of microwave amplifiers, oscillators, and mixers. Ample and detailed discussion of the latest microwave transistors, circuit design, noise, passive microwave elements, and the incorporation of CAD into microwave integrated circuit (MIC) and monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) technology round out the text. Techniques presented are illustrated with several MMIC designs, which include a wideband amplifier, a low-noise amplifier, and an MMIC mixer 1990 (0 471-60276-0) 757 pp. Fundamentals of Photonics Bahaa E. A. Saleh and Malvin C. Teich This invaluable work provides a detailed introduction to the fascinating and converging disciplines behind photonics. Beginning with a discussion of the four theories of light (ray optics, wave optics, electromagnetic optics, and photon optics), the theory of interaction of light with matter, and the theory of semiconductor materials and their optical properties, the text progresses to a survey of the field’s up-to-the-minute advances. These include a look at Fourier optics and holography, guided wave optics and optical fibers, statistical optics, photonic switching and computing, and more.

The most up-to-date book available on the physics of photonic devices This new edition of Physics of Photonic Devices incorporates significant advancements in the field of photonics that have occurred since publication of the first edition (Physics of Optoelectronic Devices). New topics covered include a brief history of the invention of semiconductor lasers, the Lorentz dipole method and metal plasmas, matrix optics, surface plasma waveguides, optical ring resonators, integrated electroabsorption modulator-lasers, and solar cells. It also introduces exciting new fields of research such as: surface plasmonics and micro-ring resonators; the theory of optical gain and absorption in quantum dots and quantum wires and their applications in semiconductor lasers; and novel microcavity and photonic crystal lasers, quantum-cascade lasers, and GaN blue-green lasers within the context of advanced semiconductor lasers. Physics of Photonic Devices, Second Edition presents novel information that is not yet available in book form elsewhere. Many problem sets have been updated, the answers to which are available in an all-new Solutions Manual for instructors. Comprehensive, timely, and practical, Physics of Photonic Devices is an invaluable textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in photonics and an indispensable tool for researchers working in this rapidly growing field.

Controlling the mechanical, electrical, magnetic, and optical properties of materials by advanced fabrication methods (Le. ; Molecular Beam Epitaxy and Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition) has become the new paradigm in our research era. Sensors, being the most vital part of the electronic data processing and decision making machines, stand to gain the most from engineering of the properties of materials. Microfabrication technology has already contributed significantly to the batch fabrication of micro-sensors with higher over all qualities compared to their counterparts that are fabricated using other methods. Batch fabrication of micro-sensors i) results in more uniform properties of co-fabricated devices, ii) nearly eliminates the need for characterization of individual sensors, and iii) eliminates a need for laborious alignment procedures. A less obvious benefit of using microfabrication methods is the possibility of precise control over the dimensions of the sensor. This control enables engineering of some of the properties of the material which affect the sensor's operation. There are many examples of this in the literature. Optical sensors are known to have superior properties over their counterparts that use other (i. e. ; electrostatic and magnetic) means of detection. To name a few, these advantages are: i) immunity to electromagnetic interferences, ii) higher sensitivities compared to the other types of sensors, iii) simplicity of operation principles, and iv) simplicity of overall construction.
