Lucid, broad, deep and error free - a worthy second edition successor to an already amazing first edition. Provides both theoretical insight as well as phenomenological perspective (whichever is our preference) - useful for designers as well as applications scientists. The new sections (e.g. piezoelectric and spontaneous polarization in GaN) are very welcome as are the updated references. I have had the first edition for about 10 years and even after having read it many times, I keep going back to it for reference. Two books that are must haves for anyone in the field of lasers/photonics are this book and the photonics book by S.L.Chuang.
Everybody who knows, knows the worth of this book. This review has more to do with the quality of the shipping. Shipped immediately and in good condition. Thank youFYI, This new edition is every bit worth dropping extra 40 bucks on.. The solved examples inside are very helpful
good . I just want to type it is good, but it needs 19 more words required. The words are enough.
