Bücher der Reihe Optics and Photonics

Complete with new end-of-chapter problems, this extensively updated second edition contains new chapters on optical fiber structures and propagation, optical coherent receivers, digital signal processing (DSP) equalizer algorithms, and high-order spectral DSP receivers. The text provides a comprehensive treatment of the modern aspects of coherent homodyne and self-coherent reception techniques using algorithms incorporated in DSP systems and DSP-based transmitters to overcome several linear and nonlinear transmission impairments and frequency mismatching between the local oscillator and the carrier, as well as clock recovery and cycle slips.

This book is an invaluable resource for material scientists working to develop artificial materials that can be structurally tailored at the atomic/molecular-level. This capability will enable electron-wave function control, which would improve material performance and generate new photonic/electronic phenomena. Exploring the prospect of structural modification in artificial materials, field pioneer Yoshimura describes how we can enhance the photonic/electronic properties of thin films using such precise manipulation of atomic and molecular arrangement. He also addresses related topics and concepts, such as a self-organized lightwave networks and heterogeneous integration processes. In addition, this important resource assesses applications in computers, optical switching systems, solar energy conversion systems, and bio/medical-photonics.

This remarkable book presents nonlinear systems technology and advanced signal processing technology from the most fundamental to modern aspects for next generation biomedical monitoring systems as well as nonlinear optical transmission systems. The text provides the theory and techniques of nonlinear physics and applications for physical systems. It also illustrates computer models and processing techniques for nonlinear signals with MATLAB® and Simulink® models. Providing a fundamental understanding of nonlinear systems and associated processing of signals, this volume leads readers to applications in real-world, practical environments.
