Editorial Reviews

An engineering text that covers the overlap between the disciplines of semiconductor technology and integrated optics, and presents the techniques required for the fabrication of a semiconductor integrated optical circuit. The approach includes a discussion of basic semiconductors and specific semiconductor optical material systems, primarily the III-Vs and silicon, plus a close look at their optical properties. The waveguide, fundamental to a wide variety of integrated optical devices, is studied in depth. The text then turns to lasers, modulators, and detectors, and concludes with a survey of integration and hybridization. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
