Fundamentals of Photonics
The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 4.38/5 from 13 reviews Best overview of photonicsVery well-written overview of the major topics of photonics. Excellent mix of theory and practical applications. I particularly like the book's structure, taking the reader logically through the sequence of geometric, wave, electromagnetic, and quantum optics. There is nothing superfluous in this book - its 900 pages are packed with useful information. It's written in an incredibly precise and error-free manner. Exhaustive but verboseThe book is divided into three parts, one covering general topics in optics, second part lasers and third part, brief discussion of assorted topics. The book is exhaustive and verbose. As a first book on photonics I would not recommend it. The information on lasers is enormous but the language fails to convey good understanding. The problems in the book are tough and without an answer key, it would be difficult to glean any understanding from it. However it is a useful reference book to have and and I would recommend using it wisely alongwith other material. Good Dictionary to Optics for ResearchingI say straight, the book, is best refence book of my Opticals . It is just as a dictionary for looking up when reading paper or topical books . I think, the book is very necessary for ones study/researching on optics/solid/EM..etc . the book is worthy of called " Bable " | ||||||||||||||||||
