Von der hinteren Coverseite

Electrical Engineering/Circuits and Devices Electronic and Photonic Circuits and Devices Electronic and Photonic Circuits and Devices provides an overview of the current practice of circuits and devices, as well as the latest design trends toward photonics technology. This collection of selected papers, reprinted from the IEEE Circuits and Devices Magazine, presents important concepts behind future devices and the likely direction of optoelectronics in the next 25 years. Based on a key article written by Anthony DeMaria, this book explains how research and design in this field are moving from the current use of wholly electronic circuits and devices toward a future of exclusively optical applications. Electronic and Photonic Circuits and Devices discusses the more familiar electronic circuits and devices and then contrasts them with the potential of today?s emerging optoelectronic approaches. You will learn the fundamentals of new optical manufacturing and optical systems. Essential reading for engineers and graduate students, this comprehensive reference provides a strong background for understanding future developments in this dynamic and evolving area.
