Coupling Coefficients for Rectangular WaveguidesFundamentals of Optical Waveguides is an essential resource for any researcher, professional or student involved in optics and communications engineering. Any reader interested in designing or actively working with optical devices must have a firm grasp of the principles of lightwave propagation. Katsunari Okamoto has presented this difficult technology clearly and concisely with several illustrations and equations. Optical theory encompassed in this reference includes coupled mode theory, nonlinear optical effects, finite element method, beam propagation method, staircase concatenationOptical wave guidesIntegrated opticsElectronic books.Optical wave guides.Integrated optics.621.36/9Okamoto Katsunari1949-62890MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458078903321Fundamentals of optical waveguides187201UNINA
