Biography/History:

Wouter J. Westerveld received his MSc in applied physics and Ph.D. degree from Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands in 2014. He has worked in the fields of sound control, ultrasonic imaging, silicon integrated photonics, and silicon integrated opto-mechanical sensors to sense strain and ultrasound. His research interest is in applied physics with special interest in photonics, acoustics and microsystems. Paul Urbach graduated in 1981 at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands and completed in 1986 a PhD thesis at the same university on the optimization of hydrodynamic propulsion. In 1986, he joined Philips Research Laboratory in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. During 1980 he spent four months in Signetics Research Laboratory in Sunnyvale, California, were he worked on optical lithography. In 1994 he became principal scientist op Philips Research Laboratory. In 2000 he became part-time professor in diffraction optics at Delft University of Technology, and since January 2008 he has been full professor and head of the Optics Research Group of TUDelft.

Summary:

Silicon Photonics: Electromagnetic theory' is a concise introduction to the fundamental theories of integrated optics that focuses on modern silicon photonic technology. It includes well-known general theories on properties of waveguides and couplers as well as new theories on high-index contrast waveguides, directional couplers, and micro-ring resonators. The book may be used as a first introduction to integrated optics, with only basic electrodynamics as prerequisite. It would fit well as lecture material in a short introduction course, as additional material in an extensive electrodynamics course, or as fundamental background material in a more applied course. The later chapters are of interest to experts in the field of integrated optics that want to learn the latest theories for high-index contrast waveguides such as silicon photonic waveguides.
