Offers coverage of optical devices utilized in communication and information processing systems, highlighting the physics of optoelectronics necessary for both hybrid and monolithic optical integrated circuits. The text aims to bridge the gap between thin-film switches and active semiconductors by analyzing lithium niobate as well as compound semiconductor devices, and includes discussion on optical transmitters, receivers and switches.

2.0 out of 5 stars
this book is sloppy and unuseful,
By A Customer
This review is from: Devices for Optoelectronics (Optical Science and Engineering) (Hardcover)
This book is written by someone who obviously understands the subject very well, but isn't very good at presenting it. The equations contain many mistakes and none of the terms are properly presented. Any other book on the same subject would be better. If the author simply referred the reader to another book, he'd be saving the reader a lot of time.
1.0 out of 5 stars
Almost Completely Useless,
This review is from: Devices for Optoelectronics (Optical Science and Engineering) (Hardcover)
This book was used as a text for an electro-optic devices class that I took. I can honestly say that the book was almost completely useless to me throughout the course. Topics are covered very poorly if at all and good explanations are few and far between. You would be much better off using other books, neighbor kids or indeed rubbing sand in your eyes rather than try to use this book.
