For technology-level courses in optoelectronics.
Written by a design engineer with many years of practical experience, this new text takes a simple, non-mathematical approach to the full spectrum of optoelectronics — from radiometry and photometry to the latest in fiber optics. Coverage is geared to readers with some electronics background, but requires only algebra-level mathematics for understanding. Rather than focus on the complexities of optoelectronic theory and the inner workings of a multitude of devices, this text emphasizes applications...giving students a wealth of sound information on how to apply radiometry and optics and how to use optoelectronic devices in real, functional optoelectronic designs.
