Textbooks An Introduction to Fiber Optics Ajoy Ghatak, K. Thyagarajan Textbook on the physical principles of optical fibers - for advanced undergraduates and graduates in physics or electrical engineering. I liked this book overall, and will gladly use it myself. A detailed introduction to modern optical engineering. A clear and comprehensive introduction to the physical and engineering principles of lasers. The multi-disciplinary background physics that underpins the workings of different lasers takes up almost the first half of the book.
Much space is given to the workings of a wide range of specific laser systems.
C. Davis Comprehensive textbook covering the physics and engineering aspects of lasers and electro-optic devices. Pitched at specialist undergraduate or graduate students, this book can be warmly recommended liberally supported by examples of the latest technology and contains a healthy set of references. An invaluable quick-reference aid of more than 2000 of the most useful maths and physics formulas. And when the equation hunger arises, and you want to satisfy it quickly, efficiently and satisfactorily, Woan s book is what is required. The Cambridge Handbook of Physics Formulas is just the ticket for the efficient undergraduate physicist and engineer.
