Handbook of Optoelectronics

Handbook of Optoelectronics offers a self-contained reference from the basic science and light sources to devices and modern applications across the entire spectrum of disciplines utilizing optoelectronic technologies. This second edition gives a complete update of the original work with a focus on systems and applications. Volume I covers the details of optoelectronic devices and techniques including semiconductor lasers optical detectors and receivers optical fiber devices modulators amplifiers integrated optics LEDs and engineered optical materials with brand new chapters on silicon photonics nanophotonics and graphene optoelectronics. Volume II addresses the underlying system technologies enabling state-of-the-art communications imaging displays sensing data processing energy conversion and actuation. Volume III is brand new to this edition focusing on applications in infrastructure transport security surveillance environmental monitoring military industrial oil and gas energy generation and distribution medicine and free space. No other resource in the field comes close to its breadth and depth with contributions from leading industrial and academic institutions around the world. Whether used as a reference research tool or broad-based introduction to the field the Handbook offers everything you need to get started.
