Description: This book presents the background material necessary for an understanding of modern optical signal processing. Intended for graduate students in electrical engineering, physics, or optical engineering, the book covers fundamentals of geometrical and physical optics; propagation in anisotropic media; fiber optics; integrated optics; the electro-optic, acousto-optic and magneto-optic effects; noise and stochastic processes; matched, adaptive, Kalman, and lattice filters; two-dimensional signal processing; and the ambiguity and Wigner distribution functions. A discussion of non-optical signal processing devices, e.g. SAW, CCD, and digital, helps to provide an appreciation of the advantages of optical signal processing. The necessary mathematics is presented in the appendix.
