New Photonics Technologies for the Information Age

Authors

Book Description

This far-reaching resource gives you an in-depth look at the technological developments fueling the drive to the realization of ubiquitous IT services. Based on groundbreaking papers presented at the International Symposium on New Frontiers for Ubiquitous IT Services, the book describes a wide range of state-of-the-art engineering advances in photonics, sensing, electronics, micro-mechatronics, networks, and communication schemes, introduced by some of the leading pioneers in the field. You get details on cutting-edge design innovations in technologies like nanophotonics, femtosecond pulse processing, and optical coherence tomography together with a thorough look at emerging applications that run the gamut from biomedical sensors and intra-body networks to “smart” buildings and long haul communications.

Youalso get a solid read on the increasingly successful use of photonic crystalfibers, quasi-phasematched nonlinear optics, optical fiber sensors, andmillimeter-wave photonic technologiesin communications and sensing. A section on the standardization for opticalcommunications and sensors, plus a look at the challenges in ubiquitous ITservices yet to be tackled, round out this indispensable report on the advancesthat have brought us to the threshold of a new age in information technology.
