Fundamentals of Optical Waveguides is an essential resource for any researcher, professional or student involved in optics and communications engineering. Any reader interested in designing or ...actively working with optical devices must have a firm grasp of the principles of lightwave propagation. Katsunari Okamoto has presented this difficult technology clearly and concisely with several illustrations and equations. Optical theory encompassed in this reference includes coupled mode theory, nonlinear optical effects, finite element method, beam propagation method, staircase concatenation method, along with several central theorems and formulas. Since the publication of the well-received first edition of this book, planar lightwave circuits and photonic crystal fibers have fully matured. With this second edition the advances of these fibers along with other improvements on existing optical technologies are completely detailed. This comprehensive volume enables readers to fully analyze, design and simulate optical atmospheres. * Exceptional new chapter on Arrayed-Waveguide Grating (AWG) * In-depth discussion of Photonic Crystal Fibers (PCFs) * Thorough explanation of Multimode Interference Devices (MMI) * Full coverage of polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD)

From its inception nearly 30 years ago, the optical subdiscipline now referred to as nonimaging optics, has experienced dramatic growth. The term nonimaging optics is concerned with applications ...where imaging formation is not important but where effective and efficient collection, concentration, transport and distribution of light energy is, ie. solar energy conversion, signal detection, illumination optics, measurement and testing. This book will incorporate the substantial developments of the past decade in this field. Those that will benefit from this book include advanced undergraduate and graduate students, workers in illumination optics and signal detection, members of OSA, SPIE, APS, and solar energy groups (ASES and ISES) who work in nonimaging optics.
The current research into solitons and their use in fiber optic communications is very important to the future of communications. Since the advent of computer networking and high speed data ...transmission technology people have been striving to develop faster and more reliable communications media. Optical pulses tend to broaden over relatively short distances due to dispersion, but solitons on the other hand are not as susceptible to the effects of dispersion, and although they are subject to losses due to attenuation they can be amplified without being received and re-transmitted.This book is the first to provide a thorough overview of optical solitons. The main purpose of this book is to present the rapidly developing field of Spatial Optical Solitons starting from the basic concepts of light self-focusing and self-trapping. It will introduce the fundamental concepts of the theory of nonlinear waves and solitons in non-integrated but physically realistic models of nonlinear optics including their stability and dynamics. Also, it will summarize a number of important experimental verification of the basic theoretical predictions and concepts covering the observation of self-focusing in the earlier days of nonlinear optics and the most recent experimental results on spatial solitons, vortex solitons, and soliton interaction & spiraling.
* Introduces the fundamental concepts of the theory of nonlinear waves and solitons through realistic models * Material is based on authors' years of experience actively working in and researching the field* Summarizes the most important experimental verification of the basic theories, predictions and concepts of this ever evolving field from the earliest studies to the most recent
Building upon the strengths of its popular predecessors, the third edition of this established classic maintains its emphasis on basics, while updating the examples to include recent progress. ...Includes a CD-ROM reproducing all artwork, for use in lecture slides.

Optika geometri merupakah salah satu disiplin ilmu yang mempelajari perambatan sinar. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui kesalahan mahasiswa dalam melakukan representasi visual pada penyelesaian ...soal optika geometri. Metode penelitian menggunakan ex post facto. Subjek penelitian mahasiswa tadris biologi berjumlah 146 yang telah mendapatkan materi optika geometri pada tingkat sekolah menengah atas. Instrumen soal representasi visual terdiri dari 8 soal tes kinerja. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kesalahan representasi visual yang dilakukan mahasiswa disebabkan oleh 1) mahasiswa tidak memahami konsep pembiasan dan pemantulan sinar pada lensa, 2) mahasiswa tidak menguasai konsep tentang sinar istimewa pada diagram pembentukan bayangan lensa dan alat optik, 3) mahasiswa tidak memahami hukum snellius dalam memecahkan persoalan pemantulan sempurna, perambatan sinar dari medium yang lebih rapat ke medium yang kurang rapat, perambatan sinar dari medium kurang rapat ke medium lebih rapat 4) mahasiswa tidak membedakan simbol dalam melakukan representasi visual.
SPIE is making this freely available as an ebook. Click here to download the full PDF.Use of Smartphones in Optical Experimentation shows how smartphone-based optical labs can be designed and ...realized. The book presents demonstrations of fundamental geometric and physical optical principles, including the law of reflection, the law of refraction, image formation equations, dispersion, Beer's law, polarization, Fresnel's equations, optical rotation, diffraction, interference, and blackbody radiation. Many practical applications--how to design a monochromator and a spectrometer, use the Gaussian beam of a laser, measure the colors of LED lights, and estimate the temperature of an incandescent lamp or the Sun--are also included. The experimental designs provided in this book represent only a hint of the power of leveraging the technological capability of smartphones and other low-cost materials to create a physics lab. This book can be used as a guide for undergraduate students and instructors for a hands-on experience with optics, especially for an online optical lab; elementary and high school science teachers to develop smartphone-based labs for classroom demonstrations; and anyone who wants to explore fundamental STEM concepts by designing and performing experiments anywhere.
Since the 3rd edition appeared, a fast evolution of the field has occurred. The fourth edition of this classic work provides an up-to-date account of the nonlinear phenomena occurring inside optical ...fibers. The contents include such important topics as self- and cross-phase modulation, stimulated Raman and Brillouin scattering, four-wave mixing, modulation instability, and optical solitons. Many new figures have been added to help illustrate the concepts discussed in the book.New to this edition are chapters on highly nonlinear fibers and and the novel nonlinear effects that have been observed in these fibers since 2000. Such a chapter should be of interest to people in the field of new wavelengths generation, which has potential application in medical diagnosis and treatments, spectroscopy, new wavelength lasers and light sources, etc.
Prilikom proučavanja valne prirode svijetlosti u srednjoj školi bilo bi korisno da škola posjeduje spektrometar kako bi učenici mogli vidjeti primjer upotrebe difrakcije svijetlosti za određivanje ...valnih duljina izvora svijetlosti. Također bi na vježbama učenici mogli proučavati od kojih valnih duljina se sastoje različiti izvori svijetlosti, te u određenim slučajevima određivati i kemijske elemente sadržane u izvoru svijetlosti. Kako se cijena komercijalnog spektrometra kreće oko 1000$, odlučili smo sami pokušati izraditi digitalni spektrometar uz pomoć mikroupravljača i linearnog CCD senzora. U samoj izradi, osim autora, dijelom su sudjelovali i učenici četvrtog razreda, smjera tehničara za računalstvo, u sklopu predmeta „Mikroupravljači“. Rezultat izrade spektrometra bio je uspješan, za cijenu od 20$ uspjeli smo napraviti digitalni spektrometar za spektar od 350 nm do 800 nm, preciznosti i rezolucije oko 1 nm, koji se vrlo dobro uklopio u nastavu fizike. U radu je opisana konstrukcija i kalibracija spektrometra, programski alati i komponente potrebne za izradu spektrometra, te najvažnije, primjena i upotreba ovako izrađenog spektrometra u nastavi fizike u srednjoj školi.
