In this new, full color second edition of a landmark book, two new chapters have been written to cover the advances in the field of photonics: Photonic-Crystal Optics and Ultrafast Optics. All the chapters have been updated and many new sections have been added including Laguerre-Gaussian beams, Sellemeier-equation analysis, photonic-crystal waveguides, holey and photonic-crystal fibers, microsphere resonators, optical coherence tomography, photon orbital angular momentum, Bohr theory, Raman amplifiers, low-noise avalanche photodiodes, tuning curves, and dispersion management
