In addition to this, the technology has applications in cutting-edge research such as biophotonics and lab-on-a-chip devices. This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the fundamental concepts, theory and analytical techniques behind the modern optical amplifier technology. The book covers all major optical amplification schemes in conventional materials, including the Raman and parametric gain processes. The final chapter is devoted to optical gain in metamaterials, a topic that has been attracting considerable attention in recent years. The authors emphasize analytical insights to give a deeper, more intuitive understanding of various amplification schemes. The book assumes background knowledge of electrical engineering or applied physics, including exposure to electrodynamics and wave motion, and is ideal for graduate students and researchers in physics, optics, bio-optics and communications. 606 $aOptical communications$xEquipment and supplies 606 $aOptical amplifiers 606 $aLight$xTransmission 615 0$aOptical communications$xEquipment and supplies. 615 0$aOptical amplifiers. 615 0$aLight$xTransmission. 676 $a621.382/75 686 $aSCI053000$2bisacsh 700 $aPremaratne$b Malin$01610174 702 $aAgrawal$b G.
