The main characteristic of  these structures is their miniature size and their low radiation loss  due to the strong light confinement in high index-contrast systems.  Thus large scale, high density optical integration may be possible  with the associated advantages of increased functionality, compactness  and cost. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003ePassive Components for Dense Optical Integration\u003c\/em\u003e presents novel  devices for filtering, optical interconnections and coupling to  fibers. The latter part of the book explores coupling structures that  are only a few wavelengths long yet can provide efficient coupling.  Also discussed are possible future directions for this technology.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003ePassive Components for Dense Optical Integration\u003c\/em\u003e will be of  interest to researchers and development engineers in integrated optics  and fiber optics. It also provides an excellent supplement to a  graduate course in optics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792376033\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-0855-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 170\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185259659404,"sku":"9780792376033","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792376033.jpg?v=1775013040","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792376033","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
