Synopsis
This unique text teaches photonics through hands-on measurement techniques common to all photonic devices. Learn these techniques and you can characterize and understand any device and master the field. This practice-based tutorial, perfect for students and engineers looking for practical expertise rather than abstract theory, does more than explain the workings of photonic applications in common devices like lasers, photodiodes, and LEDs. It offers worked examples of measurement and characterization problems faced in everyday encounters with commercial photonic equipment.

About the Author
Thomas P. Pearsall has contributed to the development of materials and devices for optical fiber telecommunications since 1973, leading the research and development of photonic technology at Bell Labs, Corning, and Thales. This textbook was developed while he was Professor of electrical engineering, materials science, and physics at the University of Washington in Seattle, where he held the Boeing-Johnson Chair. Fellow of both the IEEE and the American Physical Society, he is Associate Editor of IEEE Photonics Technology Letters, and an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer. He is the recipient of numerous honors, including the AT&T Exceptional Achievement Award. He holds or co-holds more than a dozen U.S. patents, and has contributed to many scientific journals. He is the author/editor of Quantum Structured Semiconductors (Kluwer Academic Press, 2000), Structured-Layer Semiconductors and Semimetals (Academic Press, 1990), and GaInAsP Semiconductors (Wiley, 1982).
