Review
… As befits a book on such an interdisciplinary topic it covers necessary basic information, but also has considerable breadth stretching to cover experimental topics, numerics, sophisticated mathematics and interweaves into all of this the beauty of the underlying physics. --Professor Richard Craster, Professor of Applied Mathematics, Imperial College London
… The authors provide a sound and wide coverage on the theoretical foundations of PCFs and the different numerical models that are in use for the design of these fibres. --Professor Fetah Benabid, CNRS, Xlim Research Institut, Université de Limoges
Product Description
Since that first edition, photonic crystal fibres have become an important and effective optical device. In this second edition, the description of the theoretical and numerical tools used to study these fibres is enhanced, whilst up-to-date information about the properties, applications and fabrication of these fibres is added.
