Synopsis
Nonlinear Optical Materials and Devices for Applications in Information Technology takes the reader from fundamental interactions of laser light in materials to the latest developments of digital optical information processing. The book emphasises nonlinear optical interactions in bulk and low-dimensional semiconductors, liquid crystals and optical fibres. After establishing the basic laser—material interactions in these materials, it goes on to assess applications in soliton propagation, integrated optics, smart pixel arrays and digital optical computing.
Booknews
At an advanced graduate level, reviews and compares the fundamental mechanisms behind a range of nonlinear optical interactions in different material systems, and surveys the application of devices and systems using them in such areas as optical signal routing, communications, signal processing, and computing. The nine lectures include the fundamentals of nonlinear optics, giant optical nonlinearities in nematic liquid crystals, nonlinear optical effects in active semiconductor devices, and quantum well optical switching devices.
