Summary: Great Introduction for Optoelectronics and Waveguide Design
Review: I have a few books on optical telecommunication components. I used this one as a more advanced introduction text than Palais'. It covers basic electricity and magnetism, waveguide design (both fiber and substrate - i.e. slab and ridge architectures) and various semiconductor lasers.This book has example problems aimed at both the advanced undergrad/early graduate student, as well as the industrial engineer. Some of the problems are nicely worked out as to give you an idea how to use it on your own. An example of this is how the effective index calculation is done. Most text just describe the theoretical foundations. This book covers the theoretical, but also works out a problem showing you the intricacies of an effective index calculation. I highly recommend this book as a text for a course in optoelectronics and as a more advanced introduction for the self-learner. You do need some background in calculus, being comfortable with working problems in electricity and magnetism. Optics background not required to read this book, so it's also ideal for the engineer/non-physics scientist.

Summary: Excellent review
Review: I have delighted reading this book, its organization and emphasis on basic ideas blend very well with the rather exhaustive coverage of practical issues.

Summary: Excellent Introductory Book in Optoelectronics
Review: Ideal as an undergraduate textbook, excellent reference for graduate students! The most important feature of this book is that it is tailored for undergraduate students intending to have an understandable overview of optoelectronics. The presentation is clear and the language is accessible for any senior student, or even a junior. The figures and graphics are made as simple as possible, in order to focus the student attention to the main issues. Additionally, this book is one, out of only a few, that approaches numeric analysis with straightforward examples (command lines are given for MatLab, Mathematica or C), being a bridge between the pure theory and the real numerical results. The Chapter 9 deals with Beam Propagation Method (BPM), explained in a very concise and consistent way. Its 560 pages cover the most important topics in optoelectronics with a unique equilibrium between theory and applications. The 18 self-contained chapters include Maxwell's Equations, many different types and most relevant properties of waveguides, numeric analysis, BPM, couple mode theory, semiconductor lasers, detectors, noise in optical detection, optical devices, waveguide modulators and fiber-optic sensors. The book also presents lots of good references for further studies. The undergraduate student who wants to understand optoelectronics will find in this book a complete source of information, in an accessible approach.
