Photonic Signals and Systems: An Introduction

Acknowledgments

I would like to thank all my fellow researchers, from my General Electric days to my more recent University College Cork days, who have contributed to the many applied research innovations that form the bases of the photonic design examples in this book. In particular, I would like to thank my esteemed colleague and friend, and the father of the field of silicon photonics, Dr. Richard Soref, for inspiring many of my inventive pursuits. A special thanks to McGraw-Hill Senior Editor Taisuke Soda, who gave me the opportunity to write this book, and Senior Editor Michael Penn, who saw this book through to its completion.
