Craig DiLouie December 30, 2009

The European Photonics Industry Consortium (EPIC) has announced the publication of the second edition of Photonics Essentials by EPIC’s General Secretary Thomas Pearsall.

Photonics Essentials, published by McGraw-Hill Professional (ISBN I9780071629355) introduces the principles of photonic devices to a younger generation of students and engineers.

This textbook stresses hands-on measurements techniques common to all photonics devices with numerous worked examples of measurement and characterization problems. Filled with these real-world examples that feature commercially available instruments, this practice-based book enables readers to analyze, characterize and handle any kind of photonic device. The second edition is thoroughly revised and contains a new chapter on OLEDs for display and lighting applications.

The table of contents is:

Ch.1 Introduction
Ch.2 Electrons and Photons
Ch.3 Photodiodes
Ch.4 Electrical Response Time of Diodes
Ch.5 Photoconductivity
Ch.6 Light-Emitting Diodes
Ch.7 Organic Light-Emitting Diodes
Ch.8 Lasers
