Applied Photonics: An Introduction for Physicists and Engineers

This textbook provides upper-undergraduate and graduate students in engineering and physics with a well-rounded foundation in optics and photonics, equipping them to tackle a wide range of research challenges.

The first part of the book introduces readers to the classical wave theory of light, exploring the fundamental question: What is the nature of light? Meanwhile, the second part approaches light as a stream of photons.

In the first part, readers learn the principles of geometrical opti...
