Summary: This new book maps out the frontiers of optical technology in two major subdisciplines: optical materials and optical devices. The optical materials and material architectures covered include nanostructured silicon, chiral sculptured thin films, magnetic photonic crystals, and swit­chable materials for efficient lighting and decorative optics. The optical devices addressed inclu­de silicon waveguides for integrated circuitry, high-speed electro-optic modulators, laser diodes coupled with fiber-tip lenses, and optical sensors. Reading the ten chapters, either altogether or piecemeal, the reader will receive a virtually up-to-date review of the state of the art.
