Fundamentals of Waveguides gives a complete theoretical basis of optical fibers and planar lightwave circuits, while being the first book to deal with the principles and applications of Arrayed Waveguide Grating multiplexers (AWGs) and Planar Lightwave Circuits (PLCs). Fundamentals also provides the reader with an introduction to waveguide theory by including a thorough description of nonlinear optical effects in optical fibers as well as fully explaining the theory on light coupling phenomena
