Silica-based Buried Channel Waveguides and Devices - J. Love - Bog

This book is designed as a self-contained introduction to both the understanding and solution of theoretical and practical design problems in single- and multimode planar optical waveguides and devices in silica-based technologies. It provides both a qualitative physical description and quantitative analytical and numerical derivations of the fundamental attributes of waveguiding, device response and simple passive optical circuitry.
