Books by Keigo (University of Toronto) Iizuka

Deals with photonics in free space and special media such as anisotropic crystals. Covers all important topics from Fourier optics, such as the properties of lenses, optical image processing, and holography to the Gaussian beam, light propagation in anisotropic media, external field effects, polarization of light and its major applications.

Photonics reflects the growing connection between optics and electronics brought about by the increasing role that semiconductor materials and devices play in optical systems. Volume 1 deals with photonics in free space and special media such as anisotropic crystals.

Provides a particularly good discussion of the electromagnetics of light in bounded media (i.e. , fibers). The only book that treats the two complementary topics, fiber and integrated optics. A careful and thorough presentation of the topics that make it well suited for self-study.
