This book presents the principles of non-linear integrated optics.
The first objective is to provide the reader with a thorough
understanding of integrated optics so that they may be able to
develop the theoretical and experimental tools to study and control
the linear and non-linear optical properties of waveguides.
The potential use of these structures can then be determined in
order to realize integrated optical components for light modulation
and generation. The theoretical models are accompanied by
experimental tools and their setting in order to characterize the
studied phenomenon. The passage from theory to practice makes the
comprehension of the physical phenomena simple and didactic.
The book also gives a presentation of the industrial applications
of the integrated optical components. The studied topics range from
the theory of waveguides and the linear and non-linear optical
characterization techniques to photonic crystals. This last field
constitutes a major challenge of photonic technologies of the 21st
century.
