Fundamentals of Photonics, 2 Volume Set van Bahaa E. A. Saleh and Malvin Carl Teich is an English-language textbook intended for professionals in engineering and applied physics. This fully revised edition contains the third edition of this comprehensive introduction to photonics.
This two-volume reference work has been thoroughly updated and combines theory with practical applications. The content covers fundamental optical principles, such as ray optics, wave optics, and electromagnetic optics, and goes on to advanced topics such as Fourier optics, photonic crystal optics, and optical communication systems. A new chapter discusses the optics of metals and plasmonic devices.
Each chapter includes distinctive comparisons, exercises, and reading recommendations, with practical examples to clarify applicability. The set closely aligns with themes in electronics, telecommunications, and applied technology.
