One of the most comprehensive and up-to-date textbooks on photonics is Fundamentals of Photonics by Bahaa E. A. Saleh and Malvin Carl Teich. This book is a self-contained and introductory-level textbook that thoroughly surveys this rapidly expanding area of engineering and applied physics. It features a logical blend of theory and applications, covering topics such as ray optics, wave optics, electromagnetic optics, photon optics, the interaction of photons and atoms, semiconductor optics, photonic-crystal optics, ultrafast optics, guided-wave and fiber optics, semiconductor sources and detectors, electro-optic and acousto-optic devices, nonlinear optical devices, optical interconnects and switches, and optical fiber communications.
The second edition of this book was published in 2007 by Wiley. It is a full-color edition with updated content and new chapters on photonic-crystal optics and ultrafast optics. The book contains summaries, highlighted equations, exercises, problems, and selected reading lists for each chapter. It also includes examples of real systems to illustrate the concepts governing applications of current interest. The book has 1200 pages and is available in hardback or electronic format. The ISBNs are 0-471-83965-5 (Hardback) and 0-471-2-1374-8 (Electronic).
Fundamentals of Photonics is suitable for undergraduate or graduate students who want to learn the basics of photonics or for professionals who want to refresh their knowledge or update their skills in this field. It is also a valuable reference for researchers and engineers who work with optical systems or devices. The book can be found in many libraries or online platforms.
