Photonics: Devices, Systems and Sensors - Bog

Photonics is the scientific study of generation, detection and manipulation of light through processes of emission, modulation, amplification, etc. It also studies the transmission and properties of photons. The applications of photonics are in the areas of information processing, telecommunications, spectroscopy, lasers, etc. Important applications of photonic devices are in data recording, laser printing and displays. Sensor is a type of photonic device that detects the change in its immediate environment and sends the signals further to other electronic systems for analysis. There has been rapid progress in this field and its applications are finding their way across multiple industries. This book brings forth some of the most innovative and unexplored aspects of photonics. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards advancing technologies and evolution of this field are examined in detail. For all readers who are interested in photonics, the case studies in this book will serve as an excellent guide to develop a comprehensive understanding.
