Provides detailed coverage of the whole of optoelectronics. The book uses a new approach to existing texts at the same level, concentrating on the physical ideas, demonstrating their inter-dependence and developing them to explain more complex phenomena.
Essentials of Optoelectronics offers a comprehensive treatment of the optical and electronic principles that form the foundation of optoelectronics. Along with the fundamentals, the material includes detailed coverage of lasers, waveguides (including optical fibers), detectors, nonlinear optics, optical signal processing, and optical computing.

In a self-contained presentation that foregoes detailed mathematical analysis in favor of building deeper insight, the author imparts a fundamental understanding of the subject and its applications. He focuses on physical ideas, demonstrates their interdependence, and develops them to explain the more complex phenomena. Professor Rogers reinforces and enlivens the concepts with detailed examples of current applications ranging from antireflective coatings and audio CDs to holography and coherent detection in optical fibre communications systems.

With exercise sets, references, and suggestions for further reading in each chapter, Essentials of Optoelectronics forms an outstanding introductory text that helps interest, enlighten, and stimulate students to further pursue the subject.
