Silicon Photonics: Electromagnetic theory is a concise introduction to the
fundamental theories of integrated optics that focuses on modern silicon
photonic technology. It includes well-known general theories on properties of
waveguides and couplers as well as new theories on high-index contrast waveguides,
directional couplers, and micro-ring resonators. The book may be used as a
first introduction to integrated optics, with only basic electrodynamics as
prerequisite. It would fit well as lecture material in a short introduction
course, as additional material in an extensive electrodynamics course, or as
fundamental background material in a more applied course. The later chapters are
of interest to experts in the field of integrated optics that want to learn the
latest theories for high-index contrast waveguides such as silicon photonic
waveguides.
