Book Review — Bands and Photons in III-V Semiconductor Quantum Structures by Igor Vurgaftman, Matthew Lumb, and Jerry Meyer
Quantum wells have become an indispensable part of modern laser design. The incorporation of quantum wells in a semiconductor laser’s active region has afforded the laser designer the ability to precisely tune the energies of radiative transitions thus yielding access to lasing wavelengths not naturally ...
Book Review — An Introduction to Quantum Optics: Photon and Biphoton Physics, 2nd Ed. by Yanhua Shih
In the six decades since the first studies on the quantum theory of optical coherence, quantum optics has rooted itself as a firmly established field of pure and applied physics. This is evident as one looks at the sheer number of introductory texts on quantum ...
Book Review — Programmable Integrated Photonics by José Capmany and Daniel Pérez
once found chiefly in academic and R&D labs, are now routinely produced in the commercial market for a variety of end applications. Commensurate with the field’s maturity, several textbooks and monographs have been published in the last few years to either serve as introductions to PIC design methodology or as tutorials summarizing the vast literat...
