As optical technologies move closer to the core of modern computer architecture,
there arise many challenges in building optical capabilities from the network to
the motherboard. Rapid advances in integrated optics technologies are making
this a reality. However, no comprehensive, up-to-date reference is available to
the technologies and principles underlying the field. The Encyclopedic Handbook
of Integrated Optics fills this void, collecting the work of 53 leading experts
into a compilation of the most important concepts, phenomena, technologies, and
terms covering all related fields.
This unique book consists of two types of entries: the first is a detailed,
full-length description; the other, a concise overview of the
