The book demonstrates how to design photonic systems operating within the required approximations of the deployed photonic devices, mathematics of signal processing, and optical phenomena. Systems problems are solved using a variety of mature optical technologies, such as acousto-optics, liquid crystals, liquid optics, optical micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), bulk optics, integrated optics, and optical fibers. End-of-chapter problems and solutions reinforce a thorough understanding of the material. Contents include: Nature of light Electromagnetic waves, light, and polarization Interference, coherence, and diffractionOptical building blocks―componentsPhotonic systems using optical micro-electro-mechanical systems devicesPhotonic systems using acousto-optic devicesPhotonic systems using liquid crystal and liquid devicesOptical experiments
