Optics and Photonics is a valuable and easy-to-read text on both the fundamentals and applications, including sections on geometrical optics, wave optics, photonics and lasers, optical materials, and real-world photonics applications. Emerging trends and future directions are also discussed. A structured progression is adopted, starting with basic concepts, and building up to more advanced topics involving components and systems. This book also keeps a balance between depth and breadth for such a diversified and large field. This framework is designed to meet the needs of undergraduate and graduate students, while also providing technicians and researchers with a deeper understanding of the principles and application relevant to their work. The solutions to multiple choice reading questions, end of chapter problems and projects are provided for instructors, as well as the PowerPoint presentations, a test bank and a separate lab manual, reinforcing understanding and application.
